Gulp gulp...

I smile thinking of him cuz it makes me happy.

I know I like him but I’m afraid. Just like most crushes, I’m afraid of it not working out again.

Fear. It’s what’s keeping me back.

Taking a leap is what I want to do but only if it means you’ll be mine.

I don’t know what the future holds and I’m terrified.

I’m not the type who can sit back and relax on unanswered questions and uncertainty.

But you, Mr. Z, is floating around inside my head. In class I look at the board but what I think of is you.

Indeed I am happy to feel this way again. It’s exhilarating, truly!

I don’t know if you’ll ever be mine or if you like me back.

So pardon me while I watch from a distance and let life pass me by without making an effort in getting closer to you.
