First Crush

I can't help but smile at the thought I'll be seeing you

Butterflies rise up in my stomach, possibly a whole zoo

You don't even know, how many times you crossed my mind

Walking to get a drink of water, I glare at you side by side

The dimples that rise in your cheeks, whenever your smiling

They deepen and flush into a mixture of pink clouds, blending

In class during tests, you sit right behind me and my hearts beating

Trying to act normal, and once it's done, I turn around and our eyes met

Quickly looking at the trophies of the shelves, pretending to look around

Your eyes were a bit moisty, you seemed so caring

And did I tell you that they're my favorite iris, and color of all times?

I felt so lost, I hope you know how much you're worth

It took me seven months to realize, all the snap shots in my mind

I can't help, but sit on the floor with the chair, from all of this and hide

The moment you gave the sweetest compliments

Well, your voice was like the whisper of the wind

Calm like the baby blue skies, clear

Sweet, like the simple things, hello

Going down the stairs, I see you catching up

But I hurry, embarrassed, walk slowly and pacefully

One step at a time, I wait for the special walk

And there you go, you take the opposite direction

I remember every single word you said

They're all in my mind, all in my head

You surprised me, by the weird things you say

Told me to wait, just wait and expected a hug

I remember the first one, and I couldn't reach you

You were whispering in class to your friend

Looking down, hair covered your face

You glared, and I shied away, in grace

is this that word, that rhymes with rush?

Starts with a c, and says "hush?"

It's raining, what to do

Time is passing, im fond of you

Hope it doesn't take too long

Oh no, it sounds like a song

hopefully this will all go away

it is wasting my time to stay

Was this skinny love

Or maybe just a dove?
