She Doesn't Know I Love Her When did my feelings get so deep? Why did they take that big, long leap? Going from friend to crush, What a rush, And I dont think she knows. Since when did her smile make me go weak? Since when did her tears make mine start to leak? Why does this happen when Im always so strong? When people called me Superman, I guess they were wrong, And I dont think she knows. When she talks I cant help but watch her lips, To notice their shape and curves when they dip. Wait, why am I looking? I dont even know. And I cant help but wonder if she even knows. Her beautiful eyes are nothing like ours. Theyre so deep and bright; youd believe they were stars They pour forth emotions in raging rivers. They could make even me believe that Santa always delivers, And still she has no idea. Her body is perfection, though she denies it. It makes my head spin with every glance I give. She could put any man under her spell, But she doesnt know how I feel, and I dont think Ill tell. I love how she looks and who she is And how she makes me feel like this. I love how shes beautiful and smart with a heart so strong And how she lives every day like nothing could go wrong. Still she hasnt got a clue. Now school is at an end on the 11th at noon. I wonder if she cares that Im moving soon. Were parting that day after school for many months. I just wish I could have kissed her just once. Now that Ive said it with my poetic skill, I dont think she knew, and now she never will. By Baller327 RECENT POEM OF THE DAY POSTS
