I know this will go away

I see you pass by and my heart skips a beat.
You play basketball and all I can think is "DAMN! SO DARN SWEET!'
I explode on my friends about how perfect you are.
They say you look like early men; I defend you by claiming that you're my shooting star.
They scream telling me to "confess already" and I respond by asking them "does he even know me?"
I'm about to burst with these mixed emotions.
I know that it's a phase that'll pass by but why has it held on so tight.
All that can happen with this confession is rejection but why is it harder because it's coming from you?
You're an introvert but you're perfect for me.
I say 'Hi' and you say 'Bye', 'Boy that escalated quickly.'
I'm confused but I wonder if you've got the hint.
I can't tell you in person but I can write it down with ink.
Is a love letter too cliche?
Oh well then I shall settle for whatever I get.
Even the puppy who gives me affection I shall take, because you're far way.
As I said you're my shooting star that'll go away.
