Her caramel skin made me blush
Making my heart race repeatedly
Causing my hormones to increase
She was the girl I’d been searching for

I met her at lunch
She came with my friend
Across from me she sat
The beauty of her eyes shook me to my core

Elation overwhelmed my body
Seeing the charm and radiance she showed
Her laugh was contagious
She was someone to adore

We talked, but the shyness of my voice was evident
If I weren’t as dark
Perhaps the red of my cheeks would have shown
And my emotions wouldn’t be hidden anymore

As time progressed
My heart became unfettered
I had this longing devotion
Almost like a chore

Her hugs were like drugs
Making me go numb
And feeling all tingly inside
I wanted to release myself like a lion’s roar

My mind was in dismay
I could only imagine the two of us
Lonesome amongst the galaxies
No other girl had I thought this of before

She was something special
Filling me with immense happiness
When she’s not around
The school day is a bore

I’m used to seeing her in class first thing in the morning
During sixth period lunch
And occasionally after school
Not seeing her creates a void, an empty space, an unsightly sore

But this girl with the caramel skin
Is who I want to date
Yet, I still can’t figure out if she feels the same way
I’m doing my best not to let the door ajar become a closed door

Stunning she is
With a great personality
Making her caramel skin
A feature I can’t ignore
