Her smile, The sun’s greatest rival, If only she would direct one at him.
Her eyes, A deep abyss of the ocean, If only he could get lost in them forever.
Her mind, he could never quite understand, If only that wasn’t a mystery he needed to solve.
Her hands, As soft as the whispers of the wind, If only he could keep them warm with his own.
Her heart, Full of compassion, If only she didn’t make his own stop.
These were the things he wasted his time on, These were the things he thought made her beautiful, These were the things he loved.
Oh how he wished she’d notice him.
Once upon a time, He caught her eye It’s been too long He’s been here since the start of time.
He was being weighed down by the burden on his chest. Loving her from afar truly was an anchor, Caught between two boulders, Unable to move. It was killing him inside.
It took all his strength, But he slowly started pulling the anchor up, back to deck.
His lungs began coughing up ink From all the words he never said They turned out to be as delicate and graceful as the flowers in her hair.
