As I sit here at my desk
staring off into space,
you're all I can think about.

*I remember the time
when you kept looking at me
Though you were shy
like a pearl in a clam shell
deep under the bubbling sea.

**What about that time
when you let your little cousin
talk to me, when I thought it was you
I thank God I didn't say
anything embarrassing,
because I'm shy too.

***Or that other time,
when we both laughed together
thinking about that time
with your cousin
and looked into each other's eyes.
Your beautiful hazel-green eyes,
that look so alike to mine.

You don't know it yet,
but you're the one I think about
before I go to sleep at night;
so intensely,
that I have to pray to God
that He would clear my head.
