Invisible Crush Poem by DeAngelo Townsell

Long, long before I had this rush. Something more like an invisible crush.
I was ignored and looked over for such some time.
I rarely saw her but when I did, I just wished she was mine.
To her I was a window just to be seen right through.
Intimidated by her beauty when she walked by, so I put my eyes down to my shoes.
I can’t imagine her excepting me or to hear her say “I Love You”
I try to be myself, I tried not to wear a mask.
But every time I told a joke I would get a sympathy laugh.
It doesn’t really bother me because her friend I can be.
Sooner or later I would want to move towards more and hope she will see.
Where do I start? Or is there even a finish.
Will she see that she can trust me? Or shall I just forget it.
No not me, because I can see it in her eyes.
Although it hasn’t came out yet I know she wants to try.
She is different and not like other females.
Playing this whole thing cautious is what she does well.
She knows not to run with me before we can walk.
She knows not to kiss me before we can talk.
So I must know to respect that and take things slow
Just because she’s not mine right now
Doesn’t necessarily mean no.
But that’s just it, what does all this mean? where is all this going?
I wish I could read her mind or had a way of knowing.
Lord knows I don’t want to give up. But why even try.
I just cant wait for the day when I’m love. Seen through her eyes.
