Every time I see you I stop and stare

Like a deer in the headlights.

It hardly seemed fair

To me it just wasn't right

That you could so easily steal my heart

Even though I kept it under lock and key

And when you smiled in return, well hey, it's a start

Maybe one day something will become of you and me.

The author's comments:
This piece I wrote about a boy who I am now great friends with, but the first time I saw him, he held the door open for me walking into school, and when we locked eyes, I froze; I couldn't move. He didn't move either, and we just stood there, in the rain, staring into each-others' eyes. Something clicked into place in that moment. I knew he'd be an important person in my life, and he's proven to be an absolutely amazing friend. I love him for being so amazing and for being there for me when I needed someone to hold on to.

Aww this is cute. :) And he held the door open for you at school without even knowing you? That's so nice! I wish there were more guys like that at my school!
