Secret Admirer

By Rudrani Pal

Never thought I would write so many letters for you

I also wrote so many poems

I know I will never give them to you

So should I just burn them instead?

While getting lost in my maze of memories

I don't think I met anyone like you

Someone who sweeps me off my feet

For me, this feeling is completely new

I want to admire you, but not approach

Like a secret admirer you would never know

I hate to admit it, but i would

I want to tell you, wish i could

Guess I am not so brave

For fear sweeps me away, like a wave

Without you, what would I do

I keep thinking it throughout

Of you, I know, I know that I am fond

But in such a short time, did we really form such a strong bond?
