That boy
He sits next to me every day
That boy
He somehow knows exactly how to make me laugh
That boy
Everything he does is surrounded by a soft glow
That boy
He's all I see in class
That boy
His eyes seem to stare into my heart
That boy
He doesn't see how I break a little inside when he smiles
That boy
He won't ever know that his name is repeated over and over in my head
That boy
He obviously can't see how my eyes light up when I see him
That boy
Will never be mine

Favorite Quote:
Washington Irving once said &ldquo;There is sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They are messengers of overwhelming grief and of unspeakable love.&rdquo;

The power of love is so strong, but when it isn't returned it's crushing. Nice job!
