&quot;Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Have they not been made such a fool in their squalor?<br /> <br /> For they desired a sign and sought for the wise<br /> <br /> When the precursor of life was right in front of their eyes&quot; - Wolves at the Gate


Espresso-colored hair
Vanilla-Hazelnut skin
White Chocolate eyes
There you are again

You're careless
In the best way possible
Always smiling
Confident
Yet, thoughtful

But I don't know you
And likely never will
I don't know your name
Where you're from
Or if you're just another girl

In truth I'd rather not know
Taking chances isn't my scene
And while you're one of a kind
I'm just...me

Life is great, however
And what is life without dreams?
It must be worth the wait
If someone like you could fall for me

Maybe if I came off as smarter
If I was better looking, or even a bit taller
Would changing these things really matter?
All I really want is to be admired.

Admiration is a tricky thing
In my eyes, it's a gesture;
Something simple, yet sweet
But even romantic if need be

So, Ms. Mystery
This is my Poem of Admiration
To You
From Me

Written for a barista I have a crush on. I feel like I know her so well, but in reality I know nothing. She's a beautiful mystery. I gave her this poem on Valentine's day.

Loved this, very inspiring :)
