Words Left Unsaid

butterflies

every single time i see your name
or your nom de plume
i smile wide
while my nimble fingers zoom.

i type my reply as quick as lightning
while you wait patiently for me
butterflies fill my stomach
while my body fills with glee.

you're gorgeous and nice
friendly and kind
i never truly can
get you out of my dense mind.

i sing songs to myself
that remind me of us
i may not ever be yours
but you will always have my trust.

for the jokes we've made
and your adorable braces smile
you may not be named here
but you drive me absolutely wild.

the butterflies turn to wasps
as my thoughts drift farther out
i will never be yours
but we'll be friends no doubt.
