In crowded halls, I catch your gaze,
A fleeting glance, a gentle haze,
Your smile, a beacon in the night,
Guides my heart, a distant light.

In silent dreams, you softly tread,
Through thoughts of you, my mind is fed,
A whisper here, a shadow there,
You’re everywhere, yet unaware.

The way you laugh, a melody,
That plays within my reverie,
Each word you speak, a tender song,
Within my heart, where you belong.

Though words unspoken fill the air,
In secret, I admire and care,
For now, a crush, a sweet delight,
A hidden love, kept out of sight.
