Two girls standing
Face to face
Their breath pushing
Against their
Faces
Each wishing
The could be
Just like the other

The first opens
Her mouth to speak
But embarrassment
Closes it again

The second girl
Sweat dripping
Down her face
Her hand
Wipes it away
Quickly hoping
The other won’t notice

A small smile
Enters her face
The girl hoping
The other will like her
For whom she is on
The outside
Not bothering about
The inside

Two girls mirroring
Each other
Trying to be
Perfect

Each wishing
They could be friends
But waiting for
The other to make
The first move
