School Time Crush

School Time Crush

She sat next to me in class today 
As elegant as a lady can ever be
I have never known what to say
Whenever she is looking at me

I try to act as cool as I possibly can 
But that can never be done when she’s around
How do I tell her I want to be her man?
Without getting shot into the ground

I practice my lines for her every night
She is a true beauty like no other
Writing her a letter, I just might
Before she ever belongs to another

I always promise to tell her tomorrow
But when she is near I always seem to change my mind
If only courage was something I could borrow
Because another like her I will never find

Making her mine is my only intention 
And that is how the story should end
However my deep fear of rejection 
Resulted in us remaining friends
