We pass each other in the hall,

And time slows to a crawl.

I give you a sideways glance,

Hoping that one day I'll get a chance.

To be your object of desire,

Finally obtaining the ice to cool my fire.

But this is just me fantasizing,

That will forever be tantalizing.

Because we both know,

What you want I don't show.

So even as I look away,

I'm still dreaming of that day

A poem that I wrote a while ago that expressed my feelings towards this guy. I shared it with many girls and guys and decided that mainly girls like this poem. It speaks to the unrequited love people. Enjoy~
