Every time I see her
My heart beats so fast, the race
The mind of mine stops working
My tongue as well, gives chase

All of useless thoughts possessed
Fly straight out eyes and ears
Released to the skys, my thoughts take flight
Along with all my fears

A flood of tears stream down my face
As I long for her to see me
But she walks me by, I am her captive
I am no longer free.

The author's comments:
Unrequited love happens a bit in school doesn't it? Story of my life.. I seem to write a lot of love and depression. Maybe I'm bi-polar? Well anyways, to all of you out there with people you love: Don't give up! Love always finds a way.
