Love Poem: Secret Admirer

Secret Admirer

: to the girl in my dreams :

it's like there's a switch in me
that flips so suddenly:
one second I'm looking, the next I'm loving
that cute little thing I just saw you do
and I'm hoping that you might pause-
look up, and realize you love me too

while you lie at night in bed
I will write the sweetest words you've ever read:
poetic praises, lavish endearments-
flowery words that fill you with peace;
I long to be the first to hear
three words you've not yet said.

bright stars can dim and sweet fruit can have scars;
but for each other: let's leave our hearts ajar
you can trust me and not hold back-
let's never forget the potential of tonight
we can open up, we don't have to waste time
tonight's the night you set my heart alight

the switch flips again, the fire burns
and the door closes like this letter:
with sincerity and a kiss ~
