Lectures of Love

Eyes locked in a crowded room
Electric tension, breaking the gloom
Your voice a melody, pulling me in
Lecturer's gaze makes my heart spin

Late night sessions, just you and me
Whispered secrets, setting me free
Dreams of love, hope takes control
But can a student and teacher play this role?

Every lecture, I'm sitting up front
Watching you teach, feeling so blunt
Your words inspire, make my thoughts sway
But is it love or just a cliché?

In the library, our eyes meet
Silent conversations, hearts skip a beat
Pages turn, but my mind's on you
Lost in a fantasy, wondering if it's true

In empty halls, after class
Stolen glances, moments that pass
In this realm where rules confine
Can our forbidden love truly shine?

As the term wends on, dread fills my heart
Final exams, we've played our part
Will this connection slip away
Or find a path where we can stay?
