It all kicked off in the gaze we shared,
In a heartbeat, my fascination flared.
In your smiles, the reason for that twinkle so bright,
Your unique vibe, mixed with humor, oh, what a sight.

Then came a day, no holding back,
No regrets, my friend, stayed on that track.
A day where I knew, a gamble with my heart,
Shy, scared, daily nerves, a work of art.

Embarrassed, scared, jittery each time you glance,
Feels like my heart's doing a dance.
I see your puzzlement in every move I make,
Reminds me of what you'd say, no mistake.
"You're acting up, off to see my crush today,"
I hope you won't stray, is all I pray.

“ Don't go far, stick by my side ”
“ No, don't waste my handsome vibe. ”
I hope you don't change, let's keep it real,
Wishing we're on the same wavelength, that's the deal.

In the hours we spend together, I hope and pray,
That my name fills your thoughts, come what may.
I wish to be the one in your heart,
Day and night, in your thoughts, a work of art.

Until unexpectedly, caught in the snare,
"Your heart's occupied, and it's not me in there."
Not me, not my name, but her, your close mate,
Emotions mixed, can't deny the weight.

Sadness and joy in that hour,
"Sad, 'cause I know we've lost our power."
"Joyful, 'cause I know you'll find bliss,
In the arms of another, a sealed-up kiss."

Left alone, holding on to hope,
Hoping it's me, trying to cope.
Even though the truth is hazy,
Admiration lingers, and that's crazy...
