This poem is about a crush I have on a boy in my band class.

Hope you enjoy!
------------------------------------------

The first time I meet you
I knew that you were special
I knew that you somehow were different from all of the other boys I have liked in the past

You were always tremendously nice to me
And I thank you for that
It's hard to be in a different school
With all new people
With kids staring at you

But you never stared at me
No, you acted completely different
From the other kids in my school
You looked at me with those warm brown eyes of yours
And you smiled

Your smile lit up the dark corners of my mind
And it set my heart on fire
Every time you smiled at me
My heart felt like it was going to burst out of my chest

And I felt like I would have to catch my heart in my hands
And give it to you
I would have given my heart to you if I had to
I would have told you that I liked you a lot
And that it made me happy just thinking about you

But I never did any of those things
I never told you that I liked you
I never gave my heart to you
Because my heart is not yours to take
I don't want my heart to break
I don't want to give my heart to you
Knowing that you could very well rip it apart
And you would given me a broken heart

So, I am not going to tell you that I like you
I will try my best to not make my heart pound inside my chest
I know that you are different from the rest
But you could still take my heart and break it

My heart is not yours to take
Because it is too precious to break
