What, not Who

You still make my heart flutter
When I try to look you in the eyes I can't
They have so much more than the surface glitter
They have strength
Hurt
Kindness
Hidden behind a hard exterior I can't break

So dramatic
So intense
For a boy!

You know I think this
An interrupted confession you got to experience
The stutter, the hesitance, the glances
Because I could never meet your eyes

You deserve more
A beautiful girl
Tall
Stable
Her
Not me

But I cant help but imagine us
Doing the idiocricies that fill my head

Hugging
Kissing
Holding
Security

Nothing more
Because of my impeding sexuality

Perhaps its the security you make me feel that I fell in love with
The never changing emotions you hold in your still gaze
An emotion I wish I could hold
An emotion so attractive, that I yearn

Perhaps it is for the best you dont fall in love with me
For I have fallen in love with what you are
