Confession Lines

In this poem 
I’m just a shy girl
Trying to say stuffs
That has never parted
My lips before

So sorry if my words
Are blushing like how
My face blushes
Every time I see you

I know you don’t see it
But my eyes wander 
Around with eagerness
At the sound of your name

And the sweetest worst
Part of it all is my heart
Skips a beat every time
Your hand lands on mine

Just this one touch from you
My body trembles and yearns
That you do it all over again

That’s why I’m letting my feelings
Flow freely like how the river
Flows in to the ocean

But I hope mine flows 
Down the walls of your heart
After all the heart understands
The language of the heart
