The Ocean between us

I wrote this because I'm going through a faze of being attracted to a person several years younger than me. That's the backstory, enjoy.

I'm in love with you

But I'm not in love with you

Maybe it's partial love

Or is it even love at all?

I see you as you walk in

A smile you present to your kin

You flash your eyes my way

But only slightly is if to say

"I know you're watching."

The heat rises in my cheeks

I try not to peek

Is it true that I'm trying to be a sneak?

My head starts to tilt

All my self control that I've built

Crumbles.

Crumbles.

Crumbles.

There's an ocean between us

And silently I began to cuss

My mouth lingers into a smile

I hold your gaze for a while

And in an instant it's gone.

Gone.

Gone.

Gone.

Your smile

Your gaze

And at first you don't appear to be fazed

The ocean begins to split

Surely this is a perfect fit

But you are a boy

And they'll think I've played you for a toy

Our eyes meet again

And again

And again

I feel like that this should the end

But you smile

And smile

And this world is only pretend.
