At the front of the class
Never before seen
Straight brown hair sways
Sunlight glady shares it's gleen
She turns looking round
Suddenly eyes meet
Curious her glance
While my heart skips a beat
Homeroom ritual
From that moment on
In the back, looking forward
To her I'm always drawn
Each morning she would glance
Looking back to see
The smile in my eyes
Does she feel the same for me
Not once a word spoken
Nor a moment alone
Destined to never meet
Still I can't bemoan
Yet her presence lingers
For that innocence I long
First felt in her eyes
The feeling still beats strong

Aww...I remember my first crush...
You have captured the feelings perfectly. The shyness, longing, and the awkwardness. Well done.

I enjoyed the emotions evoked,and similar memories. I was always seated at the back,and 35 years later, still rememember his blue eyes and blond hair,the locking of eyes,and lol even his name. He was the Canadian Ambassadors son, Brad. Great poem! And Good luck.

I'm canadian!
But not an ambassadors son sorry. We are even close in age. My name is Rob not Brad. I strike out all the way.
She is still my one pure love and she still pops into my thoughts every so often and when she does that feeling still lingers. I think it always will. Thanks for sharing some great memories with me. I really enjoyed it.

What a throwback to my school days. Some of the sweetest crushes were the secret ones where you just glanced...and longed.
