Lovesick

What am I thinking of tonight?

A flash of recognition in his eyes

The way they brightened as they met mine

I felt so light


And I draw lots of hearts

As mine flutters in my chest

He’ll be none the wiser

When he comes over and checks


He’s only a few years older than me

He must notice how everyone’s noticing

And I’m not the best or brightest of the group

He knows that too


Yet I can’t help but wonder

And flutter

And swoon


As many lovesick girls like me do

Maybe he notices in the way I want him to

And I’ll be surprised at what he’s about to do


“Great work Laney.”


Alas, it was too sweet to be true
