Fish Hook

I'm a girl

You're a boy

Not exactly my style

But you've got something all the girls don't

Couldn't quite put my finger on it

 

I'm so confused

Cause my heart beats fast when you're near

My knees get weak

Oh no, I'm so confused

Then we start with the talking

And you've got my full attention

I can see the words the escape your lips

You extended your arm

And I'm like a fish on a hook

This is unlike me

But you've got me feeling like a girl should 

And I'm addicted to your stories

Your expressions

Your fingers

Oh no, I'm so confused

I'm a girl

You're a boy

This is not my style

To fall in love

But you've got me

Like a fish on a hook

Great job with the extended metaphor! "I'm addicted to your stories/Your expressions/Your fingers" caught my eye- fingers are so rarely used when describing attraction. That attention to detail really lifted up the whole poem.
