To the boy I dare not fall in love with

I'm still not sure if I'd rather you know

Or not

That every time

I look the other way

Shrug it off

Brush it off

Laugh it off

Pretend like nothing happened and I didn't care

And sometimes I act as if you aren't there

That is actually my heart trying to skip

And me

Trying damn hard to hold it down

Which annoyingly takes a lot of work

You see, i try not to look when

You enter the room

I try not to smile when

You crack a stupid joke

I hold back my laugh when

Your jokes are good enough to be funny

Which are rare

I try not to stare when

You have that interesting look on your face

My favourite look on you

The one that makes you seem like

Everything in the world fascinates you

And I try not to fall in love when

You look at me and smile

Before you say my name

Because I am aware

I am your pal

You're a good one too

I won't risk losing you

Or a part of us

That one that makes us 'us'

The us that I like the most

Fun, good, and light

Simple and true

I have a long list of

Reasons why I like you

And a longer list of

Reasons why I shouldn't

One of them is

Because I am also aware that

You might like her

I like her too

In fact, I like her for you

So to the boy I dare not fall in love with

I think you ought not to know

That you cause this little and deep

Aches in my chest

Though I would never dare

I never meant to

I had, in fact

Fallen in love with you

Damn annoying, but true
