For I love a boy

Inter termoil

As the rain falls lightly against my window,

I think about him,

I think about how his smile lights my darkness,

And how his eyes play evasively with my heart.

 

As the teacher reads from the standardized text,

I think about him,

I think about how his chest rises with his breath,

And how his lips move softly when he speaks.

 

As I take my seat at lunch,

I look at him,

I look at his back while he eats,

And his face turns when he turns.

 

As I fall asleep at night,

I speak to him,

I speak to him in the silence,

And I wait for a reply like a fool.

 

As I cry in the night,

I hate him,

I hate him because I love him,

And if he knew I loved him, he'd run.

 

So I think about him in darkness,

I look at him in hunger,

I speak to him in the silence,

And I cry for his unknown hatred.

 

 

 

For I love a boy,

And that's not right,

So I must think about him,

In the darkness of my life.

As I fall asleep at night,
I speak to him,
I speak to him in the silence,
And I wait for a reply like a fool.

I can relate to all of this so very well that it's crazy. Even though it has a bit of simplicity to it's form, it is still deep. I liked this stanza because I did that alot in my mind, some out loud as I would wish after him.
Good Job!

I think everyone hates it when they have one of those huge crushes on a boy that barely even knows they exist. Nice job.
