Smile

Watching you smile

Makes my heart beat

Harder than I can ever remember

It beating.

The blood rushes

Through my veins,

Forcing a small blush

To creep across

My cheeks.

I hide it

Sharply,

Averting my gaze

Elsewhere,

And leave you

None the wiser.

You never notice

The look on my face,

And that both

Hurts me and

Makes me glad.

It hurts that

You won't look,

Won't see,

My love.

I'm glad because

I know you would

Just push me away,

And that would

Crush me more

Than anything else

Ever could.
