My dreams are filled
with thoughts of you;
with hopes you’ll
love me,
someday.

Maybe, I’ll grow out of this
love for you.
Hopefully because
it’s unhealthy
to melt
at your smile,
at your laugh,
at the mention of you name.

I look at you,
but can’t bring myself to say
hello,
which kills me
Because you light up my
life.
Because you brighten my
day.
Because you make me
happy.

I’m in love with
the sight of your face,
the sound of your voice,
but I never show how I
feel.

I’m scared of
rejection;
Such an ugly word,
such a hateful word.
Something I fear
more than anything.
So I keep my distance
and stay
across the room,
but
I still
love you.
