His eyes
Caramel
The same hue
but not quite

The sunlit rays throughout
bursting in with determination 
Giving me a better reason to look
Trying not to stare
but it's so hard

Seeing his mouth move
but not paying attention to the words
"I think you sit behind me"
the blush creeping up

Breaking contact
sitting behind this wonder of a boy
Hair made of gold and copper
smiling, radiating confidence

Biology turning to chemistry
Singing a song at the same instant
Turning a microscope, hands melding

Feeling alive when he figured it out
Crushed when a crush turns you down
