High School Crush

I recently discovered I had a crush. This is how I feel about him.

If I look at you, 

my heart flutters.

If someone irrelevant mentions your name, 

I blush. 

If you say a word in my direction, 

I am speechless. 

Your eyes are so unique,

they're silver

with flecks of blue and gold.

Not even the most expensive gem

can replicate the rareness and natural beauty

of your eyes. 

Your smile reminds me

of the pale sunshine

on a snowy winter day.

The warm glow shines

despite the coldness around you.

Your heart shaped lips

in which make you sweet and approachable

are the same lips that

make me fear what could come out of them.

Your soft skin, 

with natural imperfections

somehow add to your beauty.

Your sense of humor, 

in which I pretend like I hate, 

makes me smile crazily as my heart melts inside me. 

Your childlike habits 

and silly sophistication

makes you my ideal man. 

I don't know what it is, 

but you have something about you

that pulls me in. 

Your natural charm

your maturity,

tied in with your childlike beauty,

is God-given.

I am pained to know 

that I may never have a chance with you.

You are my ideal.

You are my inspiration. 

You are my role model.

I just hate knowing

that you could never possibly thing of me as anything 

but the girl who sits next to you.
