At the
Bell I see you, the teacher starting
Class.
Dread on your face when you realize
Everyone studied for the test except you.
Fail is not in your vocabulary, which is
Good.
How do you not know that
I noticed little things like that?
Jokes you make,
Karate moves you attempt,
Laughs that make your eyes sparkle, like
Magic.
Never putting those blue eyes
On me, except to
Pop me an occasional
Question.
Relaxed persona,
Suave too.
Tenacious,
Understanding.
Verses of lyrics you hate by Lil
Wayne, stuck in your head.
X-clusively
Yourself, is what you always are.
Zany, awesomely you.

I had a really big crush on someone in my Spanish class so I decided to write this and a few months later we ended up dating!

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?

Nothing ever ends

I totally didn't even notice that every line break was a letter in the alphabet until I scrolled down and read the  comments! I really like this though. I think its a clever idea and the content is absolutely adorable. Reminds me of some of my own old crushes.

AWWWWWHHHH! I love this! Such an ingenious idea, and well-written too (especially under the restriction of the alphabet :D)! Great job. XD
