It's almost unbearable, thinking your just sitting there, an arm length or less away, and I can't touch you.
It's not because I can't, it's because I won't.
I'm a strong person, but even the strongest become weak when love is concerned. Yes, I am the victim.
Orange hair, glasses, green eyes, a wonderful laugh,
I have to sit when you come into view. And you come to join me.
We've crammed for quizzes we didn't study for, and even managed to get the same mark on our report cards. Our two projects together were a success, and incredible fun to complete.
I have to hide my face whenever I’m interrogated to reveal my true feelings for you, for I become red. I’ve been good, keeping a straight face and managing to keep the color down to the slightest pink. But every time I lie, my feelings become stronger for you.
We stay on the computer, talking over the net, watching The Simpsons like the obsessed people we are, and then quote them, and even sing the songs.
The few times our hands managed to meet (because of a silly little pen being shared) I had to restrain myself from holding on longer the necessary.
Butterflies aren’t suitable to explain the feeling when our faces are only inches away, huddling over a game we’re playing, trying to keep it from view.
It doesn’t matter that you’re branded the nerd, or annoying with my friends. To me, you are perfect.

Haha! Teenagers in love! I can seriously wait to fall into that catagory...-.- Hmm, was this that guy you mentioned once back in 2005 that you liked, but got all weird when you said you liked him or is it Sparkles? You're hard to keep up with, didn't you officially stop crushing on Sparkles start of 2007? You go through 'em, Sam! XD Telling a good friend that you can trust about your "problems of the heart" (pun 199% intended) is very helpful, because it makes it easier to have somebody to talk to, ya know? Even though that friend might drive you nuts singing, the sitting-in-a-tree song and making annoying comments about lovers, deep down having somebody to confide in makes keeping a secret easier, until you're ready to tell. Even though, when you do finally come clean to the person you like, it may be painful to be rejected but one day you'll look back at be thankful you said it, now that you realize it'd never really work. Zut, I can feel I can relate to that in a cosmic sort of way. -.- I don't want to fall into the category of teenagers in love. XD Good work, keep writing!
Wonderful read Samantha. *smiles warmly* Though I think you should go through it and check some of your spelling. Let the link to Charlie help you fix it, then you should have not problems getting it on the front page.
Great poem, sweet and beautiful. It's a really great poem, and I cannot believe that is actually in the workshop. Well, congratulations on a wonderful poem.
Sammy, that was sooo sweet! I cant even imagine to tell you how that made me feel and remember about when I was young. You know, I'm 34 now, and STILL feel like that today when I meet someone I'm very interested in! wow, thanks.
Samantha,
This is a very impressive piece of writing. You've captured all the subtle desires and shyness of an innocent love. This is charming on the surface, but has some deep undercurrents of emotion. This reader was captivated.
Spelling: your--> you're
Welcome !
