this guy. . .
he was beautiful, kind, sweet, sensitive, mature, and speaks out loud
as far as i knew, we were hanging out
went to arcades, watch movies, and skateboard
until that day
he called me over to talk about something
suddenly i felt queasy and nervous all over
but i wondered in my thoughts. . . why?
then i knew
he told me he loved me
he wanted to be with me, to see the sun set together
i asked him. . . why? how? When?
what really got me the most
was when he put his arms around me
and hold my face with his two strong hands
and started in a soft but tight lip lock kiss
i was scared, confused, and stunned
i wanted to keep on like this forever
but push him away
and ran like the scared coward i was
and he never gave up on me
everyday he sat next to me in class i blush
for i knew what we did together
i never knew how much he was in love with me
but i was too blind to see it
but everyday when he come looking for me
i hide and cannot confess my feelings to him
for i left him hanging and unanswered

I think it's a little bare. It has potential to be more focused and poetic, or even better as a short prose piece. At the moment it just does not hold the power that I'm looking for.
