You stir my heart like no one else,
My eyes follow you everywhere.
I thought I already knew every color—
Blue, green, and yellow… but azure.
A deeper shade of what I like,
A smile that is quite alike.
Perhaps I am just confused,
Making decisions to be amused.
For every color reminds me of you,
See that azure is just a deeper blue.
But you're a friend and nothing more,
Leave this feeling to drown ashore.
Your simple smile and friendly teasing,
Got me kicking and heart throbbing.
Perhaps it's true, that I, who grieved have fallen,
But I will not be drawn like a bee to pollen.
Though all this may just be thought,
A false feeling to fill my empty pot.
This seed planted deep within the soil,
May grow from my hidden turmoil.
So I'll keep quiet and let it boil,
Keep it deep within Earth's soil.
It's frightening to think I've fallen for you,
My friend, I can no longer stay true to you.
I say and deny, this just for a moment,
Nothing special and just a mere accident.
A slip of the tongue that's nothing new,
But your face is what I see in deeper blue.
A flower may bloom from a false love,
Its color resembles that from above.
Walking down a path I am unsure,
Is this love or just your allure?
I know my heart is a deceiver,
But your presence is what I prefer.
I always find ways to be closer,
Though my mind says to just admire.
To let my brain be deceived,
To follow my heart who grieved.
A simple symphony of the unknown,
The presence of comfort from you alone.
This simple feeling leaves complications,
For my heart that jumps to conclusions.
Every color I see in the sky,
Your face I see, is what I deny.
✣ ✣ ✣ ✣ ✣ ✣ ✣ ✣ ✣ ✣ ✣ ✣ ✣ ✣ ✣ ✣ ✣ ✣ ✣
If this is love, truly as they say,
Then my heart, will you go astray?
Will you go above to search for answers?
Leave the past and the one you admire?
Will you sail the blue sea to a place of wonder,
Will you enter the book that's filled with thunder.
Become the heroine of the books you've read,
Face challenges that you've long dread.
A paradox that's grown from quiet admiration,
Your smile, your laugh, a quiet observation.
If this is truly love or just confusion,
A deceiver you are from leaving me with this delusion.
So tell me my heart what must I do?
To keep from slipping and pursue.
To see an azure hue that I can't define,
Deny or question while I stay on the line.
For I know the feeling of falling deep,
It twists my mind and won't let me sleep.
This is nothing like then and now,
A flower blooming from a pot I won't allow.
To allow your quiet infatuation to grow,
Under the stories of love for mere shows.
My heart, my friend who I hold dear,
Your desire for him, I will not adhere.
