Anything to Hold Composure.

 Clench fists,

bite cheek.

                    Anything to hold composure.

 

Eyes meet,

eyes avert.

                    Anything to hold composure.

 

Nervous laughs,

quick one liners.

                              Anything to hold composure.

 

Getting close,

keep the distance.

                                 Anything to hold composure.

 

So I can form the words,

so I can keep from falling.

I have to,

                 around you.

 

Do anything to hold composure.

Hah...
Once again, a great piece. Not only that, but as I failed to mention before, I like the way you format it. There's a certain air about it that only makes it more interesting. If that makes any sense, it probably doesn't. I hardly do.
You project feeling well through this, I think. But it's just my opinion.
Another great piece, once again I must repeat:
"Congrats!"

I'll hope to see you again some time!

ttfn!

I'd applaude, but I don't think they've come up with an emoticon for that yet.

What a unique, quirky piece of writing. This brings back great memories of my high school days! Just walking by my crush made my heart flutter. You depicted all of those emotions beautifully. Great read. Kudos.
