On our first introduction
I must admit
I did dismiss
But fate seemed to be on your side

Showing up at the opportune time
Your kindness and your gentlemenly manner
Has me blushing
For me it's bittersweet
For my heart is fragile
The one before you did not handle it so carefully.

We are friends but in the end
I can't help but feel that we are more that that.
Perhaps I am mistaken
I often reprimand myself with these thoughts.
But why do I feel a pang in my chest
Whenever I do so.

I'm not saying I'm in love
For we met only months ago
It would be foolish to even think so
However I am smitten
I look forward to seeing you
To seeing you smile
And to hear your laugh.

A crush perhaps
But do you feel the same
I dare not ask
For our friendship is nor worth the risk
If you do feel the same
You will have to make the move
For I"m afraid
And my heart can not bare the pain.
