Hazel Eyes

***This is a poem i wrote about someone who was a really close friend of mine, who also happened to be male. I had a huge crush on him forever, and it had seemed like we were becomming a thing... but he started pulling away, or denying it every time i tried to bring up the subject, so... i wrote this poem to express my feelings about him and the situation. Enjoy!***

My hands are sweaty

my heart is racing

anticipation putting my stomach in knots

and then you appear

you smile at me as I smile at you

because smile is all I can seem to do

I wish I could wrap my arms around you

hold you close and never let you go.

I wish I could kiss you, and feel your soft lips on

mine

I wish I could tell you what I feel

but most of all I wish I could look into your

beautiful hazel eyes

and see the truth hidden there

but im too scared, too nervous, too worried

that I will see what I fear most of all

friendship

so on I go, trying to be cool, pretending nothings

changed

all the while wondering how you feel

if only I could have you alone

then maybe I could find the courage

but here I sit, by your side, wishing the world

would fade away

so that maybe I could find the strength to look

into your eyes

and reveal what stays hidden behind your beautiful

hazel eyes.
