Heart racing,

tears in my eyes,

I'm not sad, but I feel I might die.

I'm not sick or depressed,

I'm elated and scared

because I fell for my best friend,

and I think something's there.

The way he makes me laugh without even trying,

the way he can calm me

when he knows I've been crying.

The way he lights up whenever I arrive,

makes my stomach go fluttery and weird inside.

I wasn't supposed to fall for him, but I just couldn't help it,

didn't want to tell him though, for fear I might regret it.

In the end, I told him and I reacted with surprise

when he said that he was up for giving us a try.

Now I sit here writing, trying to wrap my head around

the fact that I did something right

to deserve this guy whose love knows no bounds.
