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
