Our slow dance

Was supposed to be a joke

But the feelings it awoke

Were more like romance

When you say hi

I get so flustered 

It’s all I can do to muster 

A shy wave and quiet reply

Bright green eyes capture mine

A smile breaks your gameface

That’s a feeling nothing can ever erase

I will buy you flowers, hold your hand, take you to every party – anything to make you shine

Every new memory we make

I wonder if this could become something more

But if you reflect my love, and walk out that door

I would not survive the heartbreak

So I don’t want this feeling

I may take this secret to the grave

Because I’m not brave

This wasted energy should have been used to start healing

Yet 

A well timed wink 

And I’m laughing, cheeks pink

Like a hopeless romantic with a crush I can’t seem to forget
