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.
