"If an opportunity doesn't knock, Build a door"


Only three words, only eight letters. Still it's hard to say.
Even though it never crossed my mind before...
My head spins in confusion
My legs are still.. frozen without motion,
My hands are shaky from the last time you touched me..
My chest beats beyond belief.. Whenever you smile at me.

I haven't known you like everyone else has.
I may be out of place..
Your'e loved by all,
Everyone smiles when you do,
I am not the girl everyone knows when I'm around you.
I can be funny and make you laugh,
I could say things I couldn't say to others,
and I could always make you smile..
And I could feel the ice melting.
Feeling the skipping beats.
one by one..
I feel you getting closer.

I have learned to never trust anyone but myself...
I don't know if I can do that anymore.
For a year,
we smiled,
we laughed,
we cried,
we touched,
I loved..
I can always cry from the sadness.
Knowing I can't ever have you.
Yet...
I can cry from the way you would make me laugh..

You once told me I was beautiful when I was walking through the dance floor.
I wanted to run away..
we danced once..
That was enough,
to make me cry again.

My heart shrouded with sharp ice
Tough,
Yet,
So gentle, So fragile.
One warm touch..
Could melt it all away.

I could feel the lace tightening around my heart of ice..
Melting away in your embrace..
With one more tear...
I love you.
With every breath I have...
I'm yours..

I fell in love, but they don't even know it. I hope this might be able to reach him, wherever he may find it :)
