I couldn't help but wonder if he
knew that I studied
the freckles on his arm
the dimples in his cheeks
and the glint in his brown eyes
I couldn't help but wonder if he
heard
my heart beating quickly
my change in tone
and the smile in my voice
I couldn't help but wonder if he
realized
that he meant the absolute world to me
although I didn't want to,
I couldn't help but wonder
if he studied
the blue in my eyes
the waves in my hair
or the curves of my hips
although I didn't want to,
I couldn't help but wonder
if his heart sped up as well
if his mouth twitched into a smile when he was near me
or if his laugh became heartier
although I didn't want to
I couldn't help but wonder
if I also meant the world to him
although I didn't want to fall in love
I did.
