A SECRET CRUSH

(part one)

When I first met you,
You created a bad image in my head.
Now that I got to know you,
I think you're a sweetheart instead.
When we first hugged,
It seems like nothing could go wrong.
Your arms were tightly wrapped around me,
Feeling passionate and strong.
I'd look into your eyes,
And they'd light up the room.
I think about you all the time-
Day to night, morning to noon.
Yet, it seems to me
There's someone that you like.
Whenever I see you two together,
Nothing would go right.
You guys would flirt and play,
And somehow ignore me, too.
For the past few days,
I've been feeling quite sad and blue.
I am embarrassed,
That I must confess.
Why did I ever get myself
Into this mess?
I can't say I love you,
'Cause I really don't.
But giving up on you,
Is something I definitely won't.
Please drop me a note,
Whether you like me or not.
Try to be gentle with your words,
'Cause I hate rejections, and I like you a lot.
My locker is number 3262,
Right on the third floor.
Just put the note there,
I'll be waiting till 4:00.
If you don't like me,
I'll be okay.
But please be honest
With what you have to say.

(part two)

I waited for your reply,
But it never came.
I was so angry at you,
Yet my feelings are still the same.
I wouldn't smile at you,
Nor would I talk.
Didn't even bother to look at you,
And I continued to walk.
Then you came up to me,
And gave me a hug.
It was the warmest of all,
I just wanted to cuddle and snug.
Suddenly, I realized
All the feelings came back.
My pulse was racing,
And my world went black.
You said you'll write me,
Which you promised about that, too.
Yesterday I was disappointed,
But now I believe in you.
Please keep your promise,
And make me happy for once.
Even if you say you don't like me,
I'll still like you a bunch.

(part three)

You're all I could think about
For the past few weeks.
I'd think of you during the day,
I'd dream about you in my sleep.
I would think about your face,
And who you really are.
My dreams, my hopes,
Even my shining star.
You're voice is something I'd recall,
Something I'd always want to hear.
I've never met someone like you before,
Never knew you could be so dear.
When you first said you loved me,
I thought it was a total lie.
But I soon learned to believe you
Just as time went by.
I waited forever,
And that question finally came.
My body got hot like fire,
My face was burning like flame.
I gave you a hug,
Then said, "I love you".
You hugged me back,
And said, "I love you, too".
You have given me everything,
Everything I ever wanted from above.
What I have for you
Is something I'd call "true love".
