She Doesn't Know I Love Her

She doesn’t know that I love her,

How her words last forever in my ear,

I don’t know how I couldn’t love her,

She leans in close and my heart skips a beat,

Never getting to kiss her is my only fear,

She doesn’t know that I love her,

Her kindness lights the room with gentle heat,

It’s a warmth my body craves to always be near,

I don’t know how I couldn’t love her,

Bright irises shine as our eyes meet,

For just a moment, I am more than a peer,

She doesn’t know that I love her,

I arrange my thoughts tidy and neat,

I yearn for her voice, a song to hear

I don’t know how I couldn’t love her

Her eyes, marbles of hazel and peat,

Her rejection would be to my heart, a spear,

She doesn’t know I love her,

I don’t know how I couldn’t love her.
