Forever You, Never Me

With eyes the glisten like stars
I find myself caught;
Ensnared by your gaze, in a trance.
Hypnotized by your beauty.. so stunning.

I pretend not to notice,
Pretend not to care.
But indeed I notice, and oh how much I care,
Yet never, no, I will never ever dare.

Simply posing as a friend
Flirting here and there.
When I see you its unbearable.
The want to hold you is nearly uncontrollable.

My mind becomes overwhelmed by you.
My heart, confused in your presence.
It jumps and it skips
Tripping over itself time and time again.

Somehow I can keep calm
Even as my mind races.
I talk to you like friends do
Then let you walk freely away.

I watch as you leave.
This smile taken with you.
Back to my solitary state of mind;
My cowardly, boring self.
