I tried to take some good advice and write about what I know. Enjoy. (or not it's really up to you)

I must admit there is someone I love
No one doth even come close to compare
And truthfully he seems sent from above
This joy I feel must be heaven I swear
His eyes are a warm brown that makes me melt
Welcoming and cheery is his smile
There aren’t enough words for emotions felt
Just to lay eyes upon him, I’d walk for miles
Words he speaketh are kind caring and sweet
With him in mind ne’ermore shall I fall asleep
He seems everywhere as I walk down the street
Thoughts of him are treasures I shall always keep
But as for now suffer my tender heart
For our social classes keep us apart.
