When I look at you, I feel special. I want to put on my prettiest dress and do my hair.

Your smile makes my heart flutter. I want you to just pull me close and dance with me.

Your eyes shine when you see your siblings and I know how good with kids you are. I feel the butterflies unlike any other.

I find myself hoping you’d sit next to me or look my way. My mind sees you and makes me sit straighter and smile when you talk.

I get scared and turn away. My heart shouldn’t do this. My mind shouldn’t be on you.

I can’t like anyone. Especially you. I know if I was to accept my feeling for you, I would regret it.

My brother would lose a friend.

My heart would break.

I don’t know why I feel this way.

The moment I saw you, I knew that I was in trouble.

I could feel it.

“I don’t want to like anyone.”

I can’t do it.

You deserve better than this.

But my mind is made up.

I have no choice but to follow.
