Could Be Something

It's still a work in progress.

When he walks by me in the hallway & smiles my heart melts.
When he calls my name across the campus my stomach starts to flutter.
When he brushes my arm in the hallway in between classes my body starts to tremble.

Could be something special

When he wraps his arm arond my shoulder & hugs me my knees go weak.
When he leans into my ear & whispers "do you know the answer to #4?" the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end.
When he plays with my hair my body tenses.
When he pulls me close to him I get all queasy inside.

Could be something special
Maybe this will turn into something special

Everytime I see his face I lose all control of myself.
Whenever he asks to "borrow" my paper, I want to say no, but I can't because he is so amazing.
When he starts to talk about his girlfriend, tears fill my eyes.
When he asks me if I'm OK, I try not to cry because I want to be strong.
When I tell him why, I can't hold the tears any longer, they roll down my face and he hugs me close to his chest.
I feel safe in his arms & like I'm ontop of the world.
I'm just waiting for everything to fall because that's what always happens.

Could be something special
But it won't because I know that I will never be anything more than the girl who will do his homework and listen to everything he has to complain about.

Aw, the poem has so much emotion and such a deep story. It's so sad and yet has it's happy moments. I know what it is like to have someone like that. Eventually everything will work out. Whether it works out as you planned, that's for life to decide. I know my ending wasn't as planned but I still am happy either way.
