How She Feels

Wishful Thinking

To Him, She was just a smiling face

Just a pair of eyes in the crowd

And he never once blinked

Never saw how jealous

Her tiny heart became

When he grins

At girls

Who never see the beauty

Or wonder what he hides behind it

Or see how understanding

He really is

Even when in her heart

She knows he's c r u s h e d

She gasps knowing

This will be her little secret

For she was too young and

Insecure to tell him

What she craves

It could not be brought

To her tiny lips

But in the back of her

Mind

as she sees all the couples

Sneaking kisses

she feels a thought

Slowly c r a w l i n g its way in

"That could be us if you'd

Only grab my hand¨

But his fingers

Would never be in her hands

To her

He felt like

He was just a speck

Like an ant in a sea of green

Something easily dismissed

Crushed by his

love for her

Knowing it would obliterate him

But he saw the pain

And the pleasure

And chose to have them both

Truthfully, he just couldn't get enough

Simple things

Like the way she flipped her hair

Or how she blushed when

He was in her presence

A faint red, that could

Make a rose jealous

She was so beautiful

And not just on the outside

Like so many others

Yet he knew that they

Would never be

And so as he saw the couples

Holding hands

He wished hers was

Inside his

And yet he knew

He would never

Feel her fingers

Inside his
