Okay, here's the story, the newspaper on the bueses here has a rush hour crush thing saying to commuters if there's a person they fancy on their commute to work they can send a message to the paper and they might print it. It gave me an idea that I could send in a poem about the girl I sometimes work with who I think is absolutely amazing, I just can't bring myself to tell her how I feel, most of our collegues know how I feel but despite one of them telling me she asked them who I fancied and whether it was her, she's never mentioned anything to me. I just really don't want to mess things up now because I love working with her and we have been on nights out together with work and even hung out with mutual mates from work. If she knew I felt this way it might make everything awkward, put a stop to us meeting on nights out and just make work uncomfortable. So I suppose what I'm asking is do you reckon it's worth a shot at sending in and would you be able to work out the name I've censored in the poem (which is her real name)? I guess if she doesn't see it one of her mates might, and before you say it could be anyone in England who sent that in so she won't be worried about it, she knows I write poems and by asking a colleague if I fancy her I guess she'd have a clue.
Anyway here it is:
This is How I Feel
She's more than my rush hour crush
She's the girl who I work with
When she walks in my legs turn to mush
I wish I could tell her just how I feel
But there's no word in the world
None that could reveal
The secret that my heart does conceal
If her name was not _______
But instead Juliet
It would make me feel dizzy
This stanza I'll probably regret
I would like to be Romeo
But it wouldn't be tragic
Hopefully neither of us would be lonely
Instead it would be magic
But I don't want things to be awkward
All of this is true
I just want to say I poured
My heart out for you
Part of me hopes you did read this poem
The other part hopes that you've not
Either way my feelings for you are wholesome
I just really like you...a lot.
Well at least I've revealed how I truly feel
It's been driving me around the bend
But please keep it concealed
If you don't feel the same
At least then my heart can be healed
And with hope eventually mend.
