Literature Text

You stare
at the paper lanterns
Their light reflects off your hair
Their sparkle
I can see it in your eyes

You catch my eye
and I turn away
Embarrassed to no extent
I brush it off
and walk away

I can't seem to talk to you
when I try
Words stumble and trip
Off the edge of my lip

Why do you do this to me?
Why can't I be normal around you?
I think you are beautiful
but you're so cruel

You make me speechless
Nervous
A bumbling idiot

You came over
and started talking
I see the lanterns in your eyes
they glisten off your hair
then you just stare
and mention
"There is no light out here."
hee hee I love paper lanterns
