I tried.

I tried to impress him but I couldn't think of anything to say. Wish I could have flipped the switch. Then we could hold hands like the lovebirds on the train. I tried to hold his hand but he squirmed like a kitten caught by the scruff of his neck. Wishing won't do much on the one hand. I tried to look away from him but I was mesmerized. I gave my time because its all I had. Then I absolved him. It was easier to forgive. I tried.
