A shy eye casts a romantic look

A shy eye casts a romantic look
~
He looks with unease
At a girl something beyond beautiful
At least in his mind she is all of that
He stays his tongue from speaking
Not through caution but through fear
A fear of her rejection forefront
Besides not knowing which words to speak
Or how best to express them
He sits almost silent thinking
How her lips would feel against his own
The touch of her skin
The smell of her hair
His eyes cast a glancing look
Shyly looking away, fear of being caught
A subtle smile offers little
He looks with unease
At a girl he finds incredible
