Confessions To An Ephemeral Love

Standing by the window pane
My eyes, they search for you
Amidst the chatter of my mates 
I solely wave at you. 

Then up you look - your chocolate orbs, 
Oh! how they crinkle when you smile
The meek wave you return is enough for making my day bright. 

You are but like the gentle sea
An azure land of mystery
To date I cannot fathom why
Your silly talk makes me want to smile. 

You're everything that's sweet and warm, 
The moon, the breeze and popcorn
And what else shall I compare thee to? The bard took away the words and flew. 

Sitting next to you by the window when it rains
Walks, ice-creams and stupid eraser games
They're nothing to me but absolute joy
The crewmates on a ship shouting "ahoy!"

The doodles you draw on your desk I've seen. 
How's the tutor you mentioned been? Have you decided where to go for the summer break? 
There's a myriad of questions that I wish to ask 
But I guess I'll keep them locked, concealed in my heart. 

"How can someone be this adorable?" I think to myself
As you make that face with your lips sucked in
And how you're always sleepy and bored of everything
Such little things they'll always stay cute. 

This little secret I won't share with the rest. 
Keep it safe, studded in my chest. 
And of all the people I've ever liked  I definitely love you the best!
