Getting Friends

Why don’t you get to know me?
Can’t you listen to what I have to say?
Why can’t we at least hang out?
Don’t you have something to say?

Yes I do, I don’t even know you

Why don’t you come and hang out with me?

We could go to the playground
I think we should go there today
Come on let’s go now

Why don’t we play chasey
I really like playing, I will be it

Oh no its time to go now
Why can’t we stay here for longer?
Why don’t you come to my house on the weekend?

Do you think we are friends?

I think we are, I am glad I got to know you
