Fairytale

I watch as you move from your seat
Just to sharpen
Your pencil

I eye how your eyes
Twinkle
When a joke is told

I can't help but smile
At your crooked
But adorable teeth

Your orange freckles
Send me
To another world

When your short strawberry hair
Blows in the wind as you run on the basketball court
My heart races a mile trying to reach you

You shortness amuses me
But it doesnt draw me away
Closer I come

The focused face you wear 
Pounding on the drumset
Is priceless

That cute grin you wear
Trying to get out of your work
Is mind-blowing

Flexing your sexy muscles
Showing off to the guys
I watch in silence

You keep me happy
When I am sad
Even though you aren't anywhere near

I dream about us

Dancing in the rain
Taking long walks

Watching the sunset
Watching the stars

Holding your hand
Hugging you

Oh how I dream

Why can't you look at me
Like I look at you
Oh, I love you so

Why can't we be 
A fairytale
