You were seated just a row behind,
I didn't notice you until a deep voice aligned.
From the back of the row, you answered with grace,
And I was drawn into your world, an imaginative space.

Your shared experiences, I eagerly devoured,
In a realm of fantasy, my heart was empowered.
The best part about you, you showed you cared,
Without a word, your kindness was shared.

On those days, I secretly admired you,
More than you knew, my heart beats true.
This time, I want you to know,
You were my crush, and feelings still grow.

I wish I could have stayed, waited a bit more,
Maybe today, you'd be beside me, forever in store.
