My heart beats fast, my mind's in a haze,
As I gaze upon her with a love that amazes,
She's my English teacher, so wise and kind,
But I know that in her heart, another has entwined.

I'm only twelve, and she's thirty-one,
But my love for her can't be undone,
It's like a fire that burns within my soul,
A love that I know can never be whole.

I wish I wasn't born so late,
To love her...
