I see you
Everyday
My stomach is filled with butterflies
My mind is empty
I have nothing to say
Speechless
As you decide to walk my way
My timid petals began to bloom
In the warmth of your ray
Maybe I should say good morning
Though its so cliche
I feel your warmth become more of a blaze
And suddenly I feel the need to speak
Or at least just a wave
Then your blaze burst into flames
And I manage to forget my own name
But this a chance of a lifetime
I can't let you walk away
And in a split second decision
I grin and say
"Hey..."

Cute poem! I found it easily relatable and enjoyable to read. You left a few tiny words out like "is" in "this a chance", but that's the only thing I could find. Great job! 5/5
