The Girl Across the Room

An over whelming feeling.
Your beauty is just too great.
I don't know how to explain.
I only hope its fate.

You constantly jump in my mind.
With those perfectly soft lips. 
I don't dare wish out.
You watch as my heart slips.

I watch you every so often.
Your eyes are looking my way.
What could you be thinking?
What could I possibly say?

I want you to be mine.
To feel the way I do.
Please smile at me again.
So with this poem, I can be through.

Hi Michael: What may help getting more comments is to pick a form. The simplest form for you to pick would be 'rhyme.' Many people on soup enjoy reading rhyme. Your last line feels a bit too forced and could be stronger. Keep writing and reading and soon you'll get more comments.

My apologies! There is another Michael Osborne requesting comments on blogs! Apparently, there are two of you. I would not normally leave a critique, except it was requested... by someone with your name. Again, sorry!
