She isn't the kind for all to see,
A face in the crowd like a leaf on a tree,
Seeming so simple, no exceptional traits,
But it is for me that she stands there and waits,
As I just watch, I see that people dont know,
That she has beauty that shames sparkling snow,
They look at her and see a redheaded girl,
I look at her and see a rare polished pearl,
She looks around, looking for me,
I watch for a moment, this leaf on the tree,
Now I step forward, towards her I start,
When she looks in my eyes, she sees in my heart,
Eye contact that holds me in place,
Frozen in time, in that croweded space,
She smiles now, a shy blushing thing,
If I still had my voice, I would probably sing,
We lock in embrace, the smell of her hair,
And then a kiss, we two lovers share,
A stranger walks by, shaking his head,
We just laugh and link arms, of embarrassment shed,
As we walk, I wonder in thought,
How with such beauty this girl was wrought,
The moment is gone, and laughing we go,
A part of the crowd, we go with the flow.

I love rhyming, and this is almost flawless. I love the flow as well. Combined with the emotions, this is a lovely poem. A little short for my tastes, but it's still wonderful, and a lovely picture of how beautiful a person can be.
I wish you the best of luck, and keep writing and improving your poetry. ^__^
