I glance your way when suddenly I'm caught off guard
by the emotions that swell up inside me.
By the thoughts that run through my mind.
By the memories from years ago that now seem like only yesterday.
My friends have always questioned my interest in you and to be honest so have I.
Because before I had never noticed your smile.
Now it weakens my knees.
I had never noticed how your eyes shine like gold.
Now they melt my heart.
I keep having to stop my thoughts in their tracks
and remind myself that you love her.
Everyone sees you with her and I know you don't think of me.
I know you are oblivious to the fact that I can't help but stare at you.
You don't even know how I think about you every minute of every day.
That I can see our whole life together.
That I can see myself falling madly in love with you.
You don't know how I dream of holding you hand in mine
and gazing into your eyes for hours.
You have no idea how you have caught me off guard.
