"Secret Glimpses"

By: Geres Magbuhat

In every corner of the classroom,

You are the one I long to catch a glimpse of.
A gaze that cannot be counted in the four corners of the room
My eyes wander, unsure where to look.
Your first glance already makes me want to belong to you.

A glance accompanied by charm

Charm that you whispered to me, your eyes like pearls shining
With every glance from you, I am captivated by your beauty a beauty that cannot be
shaken by anyone.
Your beauty, which cannot be stolen by anyone, is flawless.

Your beauty is incomparable; beauty I cannot find in anyone else.

Your beauty is like the flames of a burning fire.
Beauty that captures attention when you look like an angel
Beauty I cannot find in anyone else; beauty is so divine.

With every glance from you, my world stops.

With every gaze, my heart races.
With every word you speak, my ears perk up.

When your gaze towards me changed, it felt like my world stopped.

When your feelings for me disappeared, it felt like I lost my companion.
When your gaze towards me faded, it felt like my gaze towards you also lost its spark.
