Love, Your Secret Admirer.
_A whole world flashes through my eyes,_
_As soon as I see your bright smile,_
_A planet with just love, surprise,_
_But won’t be discovered for a while._
_Falling for you, my favorite pastime, _
_And melting in a stew of my mind,_
_I swoon from watching you just one time,_
_And blush red when your presence reminds._
_Standing behind as a silhouette, _
_My words too scared to be unveiled yet,_
_Ever since the moment we first met,_
_I knew your heart, I could never forget._
_Crumbled notes with scribbled ink, _
_Sweet words, truth in shaky print,_
_Filled margins with love that brinks,_
_With no signature, no hint._
_Every day, I hear you speak of me, _
_Of the admirer you wanna meet,_
_How pretty this ‘guy’ seems, how friendly,_
_Yet I’m the girl you’re eager to greet._
_Maybe you’d like to see our world too, _
_And my discreet heart’s attempts pull through,_
_My most desperate thoughts hope you do,_
_That you know me, you have a clue._
__
__
_But there’s a chance your smile will fall, _
_And I would fight the urge to bawl,_
_What if I have ruined it all?,_
_And out of our world, I will crawl?_
__
_So, I write this so you’re weary, _
_Of the girl— or guy — I might be,_
_Either way, I hope you’ll still love me._
__
_- love, your secret admirer._
