caterpillar

the first step that i took when i saw you was to admire you. i still can picture it clearly, how a single smile could bring the butterflies to my stomach, fill up my lungs, and finally form another smile on my lips.

the second step, was to remain silent.
i could go on for ages to talk about your beauty,
but i chose to stay silent.
in the silence of the empty corridors, or in the crowdedness of the cafeteria,
this wild thoughts of mine wonder, what can a plain little girl like me do to deserve that gorgeous smile of yours?

it feels like, you are a fucking masterpiece that i could only look at—locked away in a museum of arts. you're just too high to be reached.

i am afraid of heights,
and you are a leaf at its highest peak.
only the greatness of the sun could make you grow,
and i am a fucking caterpillar.
