What Do I Say?

How is he that attractive?
Is that really his face he just...
wears for days?
I've
 been caught once or twice in the act of
staring with a heart-eyed
gaze.

So far out of reach, yet I yearn for his attention.
My GOD, he looks good in pink!
(It's just a crush, I guess I should mention
(A standard edition case of puppy love...
(I think)))

Right when I've thought of the right things to say
he comes out of nowhere...
Taking words away.


He's walking my way,
This can only end in mishap.
Wait! What do I say?
"HeY! HoW's iT gOiNg, dO YoU LikE UkuLeLes ToO?! Oh mY gOD cOoLl!!"
Crap...
