There's a sudden rush of emotions,
my heart has stopped listening to me.
I'm losing my mind over stupid little things,
everything around me is drowning,
all I see is you.
What's happening to me?
My heart isn't listening at all.
My eyes won't stop searching for you.
I've never felt this way before.
When you're around, all I hear is my heart beating loudly.
I wonder if you can hear it too.
Pink shades creeping on my cheeks, ears turning red.
Can you see it too?
The butterflies in my stomach, a rush of unknown emotions,
It's annoyingly sweet.
Is this what it means to fall in love?
Please look my way, is all I can wish for.
When I look at you, I hope you don't catch me staring—
it's embarrassing.
Please fall for me, look at me only.
Do you feel what I feel for you too?
Do you sense those butterflies too?
My eyes can't help but linger, searching for you.
My heart won't listen,
my mind is in chaos.
I've lost myself in your ocean eyes.
Thoughts of you keep me awake at night,
crying, laughing— losing my sanity.
But I see you looking at someone else.
Unreciprocated, my love is, I know,
but I can't help falling for you, my unreturned feelings only grow.
It's dangerous, I know, I am going to get hurt in the end,
but I can't help sneaking those glances at you.
I guess I'm falling pretty damn hard.
