I look at you

Well really, your lips

Your red ruby lips, covered in that shiny gloss

You glow

As you walk down the hall my heart is inexplicably drawn to you and I don't know why

I don't know why and I don't know how but I feel it

I feel this pull, this draw towards you, and I can't escape it

I don't want to

I turn, hoping you haven't caught me staring, hoping you have

Hoping you know that I dream of your lips on mine, hand around my waist, mine in your hair

 I dream of resting my face in the crook of your neck, holding each other close, breast to breast

I know you don't know

I wonder if this is wrong, to fantasize about you this way

Plan our wedding day, your dress, the brightest emerald green

Contrasting your light brown skin, bringing the hazel out in your eyes, that mossy brown green that reminds me of forests, of adventure

I'd love to take an adventure into your soul, get to know what makes you laugh, makes you crack, feel your heart beat beat beat faster when I touch you

I've fallen in love with the way the sunlight hits your hair, the confidence and grace you bear, your presence

But do you even acknowledge me, a peasant 

The soles of my feet aren't even worthy to walk the same ground you have walked on, I am sorry

Sorry that I have been staring for too long, at those red, ruby lips, that lipstick doing things to my heart you cannot even wonder

My whole world is set a flutter and you lean in towards me, close 

Grab my wrist, ask me, yes?

You're not a genie, but you grant my wish

You answer the question, the plea, the hope in my eyes

With a kiss
