SCHOOL CRUSH
The moment I set eyes on you,
Across the lecture room,
On that first day of term
I fell in love.
Your chestnut hair, bewitching eyes,
And, oh, the magic of your laughter
Coyly giggling,
Yet, in its very innocence,
Exuding sexuality.
Perhaps you know how young men’s hearts
Quicken,
The moment you walk in the room.
You couldn’t know how my heart
Cries out
The moment you enter my thoughts.
Six months I’ve longed to tell you,
But never dared approach,
For fear of babbling
Incoherently.
We talk, of course
But never speak of how we feel.
And so, this letter
(Please excuse the trembling hand)
Must tell you of my thoughts.
Modesty forbids that I should boast
That I could be the perfect boy for you.
But, when we talk,
I’ve sometimes made you laugh.
And that’s a start.
I have tickets for a comedy next week.
Will you come with me
And laugh together?
