Her dark curls keep falling in her face. The expression she makes is adorable a flash of an exasperated semi-sarcastic smile. She makes some of the most adorable faces. I can’t help but smile back. Her eyes are perpetually bright and full of life, a pale moss green. I am constantly enchanted by them. Her skin looks like it was poured from a jug of milk, creamy and white. I love her attitude and confidence. She always has something going on, always hustling. I’ve seen a peek of her struggles and wish I could help her, but I know she wants to beat it on her own. These are pale reflections of the wonder that is her.
If I could find the perfect words to express my feelings for her. Or, if I could overcome my anxiety and tell her. I am too scared of losing her respect, of being viewed as another guy chasing after her. I want to be seen as an equal, and I feel that I’m not. I am afraid that I am not, and I don’t want to risk finding out. Friendship with her is enjoyable
