School Crush

Darling it’s true,
I know I never said it to you, 
So here’s a letter only meant for you, 
For its time to tell you, 
That I have a crush on you. 

Though you are my desk partner,
And we talk all day,
These little conversations, 
Just make my day.
I love the way you smile,
Every time you look at me,
Shivers run down my spine.

It’s been a while, 
A few months at least,
I have fallen or you,
You have taken away my breath. 

 I admire the way,
You live just for today, 
I feel we should spend more time away, 
I hope you like me one day.

One last thing left to say,
Will you be my date on Friday?
There’s a little place,
I would like you to take,
Down by the lake,
Just you, me and a cake.
