I can't believe we got

Paired up

For our project.

It feels like someone is pulling strings;

Strings that have pulled my vocal cords so taut

That it threatens to snap,

Sending all those words out.

I caught your gaze

When our pair was announced.

You were surprised too.

But then you looked at

Me and

Smiled.

I love your smile.

I almost blurted it out

When we shifted to start on our project

And I was

(finally!)

Sitting next to you.

I was stammering again, wasn't I?

My heart always beats faster around you.

As I'm thinking this my cheeks have warmed.

What have you done to me?

(i want you.)
