Unrequited, Unwritten

Most nights I stay awake,
Just the mere thought of you has the ability to turn my legs to jelly...
And my heart to break.
My stomach gets butterflies,
That's a feeling I would always take.
I wonder what you would say if I asked you out on a date, 
Would you be as happy as I am when I think of you?
Will you let me down as if there's nothing to lose?
Out of all the people who've confessed their love to me, 
I only want you.
I hope whoever you end up with looks into your eyes
And I hope they see the greenness in them
Like the algae in my lake I've known since childhood.
I hope they look at your face as if it were sculpted by the Gods,
I hope they accept you for who you are, and not who they want you to be.
I see your potential, so please...
Come with me.
Fix this hole in my heart that only you could fix,
Your love as big as the ocean, but small enough to fit in my fist.
I love you, enough to want to love me too.
