Just Friends?

Every time I see you, my head spins and my stomach is filled with butterflies.
Whenever I see you, my world is perfect.
Your eyes set the calm, and your smile makes me melt.
Even though I don't see you every day, I can see your face in my mind.
Since I first saw your face, and heard your name, I haven't been able to stop thinking of your eyes; your smile; YOU.
I want to let you know, but i'm too afraid.
I don't know what you'll say, or what you'll do.
If I knew what your reaction would be, I'd tell you how I feel.
Every day that we have class, I can't wait to see you.
Every class we have together, I treasure, because I'm with you.
There are times when I can't look at you, only because I'm nervous.
I look at you, then look away, nervousness flowing through my body.
My heart pounds, and my legs turn to jelly.
My mind is racing with thoughts of you.
What do I do? Do I let you know? Or do I keep it bottled up inside?
I want to tell you, but what will you say?
Will we ever break out of being just class-mates?
Or are we destined to make it to "just friends"?

My Dream of You

Every night, I dream of you.
You always come to my rescue.
Whenever I'm in trouble, you hold me in your arms, and speak gently.
I feel so safe in your arms.
I lay my head on your chest, and I can hear your heart beating.
You hold me close, like you'll never let me go, and I don't want you to.
We're in a quiet woods, in a clearing, watching the stars.
I start to drift off in your arms, you kiss my head and squeeze my arms.
You draw me in as close as you can, protecting me.
Again, I feel safe.
I put my hand on your chest, over your heart.
We fall asleep in the woods, beneath the stars.
And then... I wake up from the perfect dream
