You were lovely
\nI was engrossed in work
\nand didn’t pay much attention
\nto the world happening around me.<\/p>\n
I thought it was super weird
\nhow you’d notice the little things
\nand were not afraid of complimenting me.
\nI’d blush inwardly,
\nI still do.
\nMy stomach is in knots everytime
\nyou look my way.
\nYou made me feel so aware
\nof my presence and
\nmy effect on those around me.<\/p>\n
You are beautiful with your playful stares
\nand your mischief.
\nI would like to look at myself through your eyes.<\/p>\n
Your gaze piercing as if you saw my soul.
\nYou didn’t flinch, it’s like you were drawn.
\nyou continued to maintain eye contact.
\nI couldn’t reciprocate your eye contact
\nas I felt self conscious and
\nscrutinized by the world around us.
\nI looked down and all around
\nwhile passionately romantising
\nthe struggles of my current state.<\/p>\n
This electric tenison between us
\nis so strong, I can’t help but
\nlook for you and find myself matching
\nyou against every other friendship I have ever had.
\nNothing compares
\nthere is none like you.
\nI find your essence in every little thing.<\/p>\n
There is this constant tug of war in my heart
\nand it begins and ends with you.
\nShould I?
\nDo I dare?
\nI am afraid to find out what is behind that door.<\/p>\n
Maybe I like you just a little too much,
\nbut I prefer us being just friends.
\nI’ll deal with my emotions for now
\nBy writing about you
\nBut, I don’t want to lose you.
\nI’d rather have you as a friend than nothing at all.<\/p>\n
