Maybe You'll See That I Love You
  Maybe
  Maybe you were looking at me because I was new or
  because I had answered some questions,
  But either way, I could feel your eyes on me.
  Maybe I looked back at you because I liked your eyes,
  Or your hair was a nice color, or you were laughing--smiling, I guess.
  That smile.
  Every time you smiled--I smiled
  But the thing is, you wouldn’t let me stop.
  You drove me crazy,
  It was crazy lovely loving you--
  I thought maybe you knew.
  
  Maybe you’re looking at me because I’m weird, or I’m loud--
  Maybe you’re looking at me because I’m smart or pretty or...
  Maybe you’re just looking at me because boys stare.
  I see you.
  I love seeing you.
  I love seeing you smile
  You still drive me crazy, if you’re wondering.
  It is crazy lovely loving you--
  If only I could tell you.
  
  You’ll See That I Love
  My smile is a gift that few receive
  And my sincere interest far fewer.
  When I say the word good, I mean bad, but everything is nicer around you
  And when I start to ramble it’s because I feel safe.
  When you hurry past, I have to concentrate straight ahead
  To keep my eyes from flitting to follow you--
  Everywhere you are I want to be also.
  
  You
  Light was born in your eyes--
  The sun is not the only thing this world revolves around.
  Your smile is a brightness
  That cannot be made to switch off.
  You glow, your radiant spirit
  Warms every depression--
  When you are around, it is eternally summer.
