Love At First Sight

by Vanessa Williams, age 13, from Ethiopia

you walk in the room
and you look at me with those eyes
and i just can't help it
i feel im dying inside

because every time you smile
i feel like flying
and when you aren't here
i feel like crying

every sweet gesture
every little act and more
touches me in a way
i've never felt before

and when you tease me
and whisper things in my ear
i feel my heart stopping
and want to hold you near

you make me feel weak
you make my breath stop
and when you touch me
i know i want you a lot

i hope that you know it
that you feel it too
cause if we get together
i know i'll never leave you

so just tell me you want me
and make my dreams come true
i am under your spell
i'm in love with you
