I met a boy

I met a boy, he looks so innocent,
But deep inside, I still have doubts I meant.
He makes me laugh, lets me be myself,
With him around, I forget the stress I felt.

My work, my worries fade into the air,
Somehow the world feels lighter when he’s there.

When I see him smile, I lose myself somehow,
I want to give him a chance, but I know me now.
When I fall in love, I give my whole  world,
So I guard my heart, keep my feelings curled.

Yet with him around, everything feels light,
If they ask, “Is he your type?” I’d say, “Not quite.”
He’s loud, extroverted, steals every room,
Smiles at every stranger, chases away gloom.

Won’t leave me alone, always breaking my space,
Not the silent, tough kind I once used to chase.

He calls my name out loud in crowded streets,
When I turn back, it’s his smile I meet.
Like a playful golden retriever pup,
Always a little wild, never grown up.

He’s the immature type, jokes out of place,
But when I’m low, he reads my face.
He asks me why, lets me fall apart,
Listens to my worries, steadies my heart.

I want to kiss his forehead, tell him he’s sweet,
Say all the words my heart wants to speak.
But I pull it back, hide it in fate,
Turn love into laughter ,“Good luck, mate.”

I swallow the moment, let the feeling wait,
Afraid of how fast my heart could break.
