I can see your face
I can see that I like you
No one else in the world that's like you
🍀
I can see your smile
I can tell your high IQ
Yeah babe, I can tell that I like you
🍀
Although I'm shy and unsure
Don't want to be the one to make our friendship sore
🍀
But I can see your face
I can see that I like you
And I hope somehow you'll like me too
🍀
I can feel your skin
I can feel sparks and tingles
Is this a sign that I'm ready to mingle?
🍀
I can hear your laugh
That makes me crack up beside you
I really hope that you feel just as I do
🍀
But we're both shy and unsure
Can't tell if risking this is risking it all
🍀
But I can see your eyes
I can tell that I love you
yeah babe, you can tell I adore you
🍀
I can see your smile
And I'm prepared to pretend
That I take you only as my best friend
I'll be by your side and you I'll defend
For you, I'll be here till the very end

Actually wrote this for a valentine competition that was centered on love themed poetry. The length of the poem wasn't supposed to exceed 16 lines and well, you know what happened already. It did. And I ended up not submitting it cos I had exams and literally got carried away by other things. The initial title was the 50k poem because the winner was to be given fifty thousand naira.
There goes my little chance of making some cash with my writing lol.
