Okay, just curious, but how do you talk to someone you think it incredibly cute but can't find the words to articulate your feelings? You can write advice, poetry, prose, fiction, non-fiction, anything.

An Awkward Exchange

Hey.

So, um

Do you like chocolate chip cookies? Because I have some

In my backpack and I was going to eat them but I saved them for you...

and I wasn't going to eat them, so you know I was just wondering if you wanted some.

But now that we're on the subject, what are your thoughts about bees? I mean, haha not in general but do you think that they're important to our ecosystem because I sure do I mean they pollinate the flowers and that's what make our food grow so yeah just wondering...god I'm so awkward

So before you walk away I just um I just...

So what I'm trying to say is...

why can't I just say it?

What I wanted to talk to you about today was surprisingly not about bees but 

hm how to put this...

When I see you I feel like I'm going to throw up. Ew, what?

Oh but in a good way. You see...I'm messing this up...

When you smile it feels like a chorus of butterflies,

Fluttering their feather-wings, tickling me from the inside out. 

It feels like I'm a puppet:

My master tugs at the corners of my mouth, puts a twinkle in my eye,

Coaxes a sigh of longing.

It feels like I could live a thousand years

And never grow tired 

Of that boyish dimple you try so hard to hide

Of your deep laugh, when you hold nothing back

I wish you'd laugh more...

Anyways.

I thought you should know that, um, those were my thoughts so yeah

And also I was wondering if maybe perhaps you feel the same way?
