What he doesn't see
When he looks away
is the girl with red cheeks
that doesn't know what to say

What he doesn't know
and I can't say
is how 'Good morning beautiful'
is the text I want to start my day

What he doesn't feel
when his hand brushes mine
is the damn goosebumps
that he leaves behind

What he doesn't know
and I can't say
is how holding his hand
makes me feel safe and okay

What he doesn't hear
when he walks away
is the case of the giggles
that I will have all day

What he doesn't know
and I can't say
is how much I miss him
when he is away

What he doesn't smell
when he gets so close
is the scent of cologne
that lingers on his clothes

What he doesn't know
and I can't say
is how comfy his hoodie is
when he cannot stay

What he doesn't say
when we are so close
are the three little words
that I want to hear the most

I wrote this one night while talking to a clueless boy who has no idea how I feel about him. If only I had the guts to tell him in real life.

I think that is one lucky boy. Now If you could only give him the chance to see how special you are.

Duh - send him this poem!  You said it so beautifully!  Keep writing, ok?  And maybe try some Spanish poems...
