If you are still finding the courage to express your feelings in person, you can try expressing how you feel through leaving short notes on his/her table. Writing a Chéngyǔ is a good idea!
成语 (Chéngyǔ) are four-character Chinese idioms or set phrases. Reading Chéngyǔ is very helpful in understanding Chinese characters. Since there are only 4 characters, memorizing and applying the Chéngyǔ will be easy.
Chéngyǔ are very helpful in understanding the characters since these phrases cannot be translated literally online, rather you must understand the concept and meaning of each character to get the full meaning of the Chéngyǔ.

| Love at first sight |
一 : one/first
见 : to see
钟 : time (in hours and minutes)
情 : to feel affection
The concept of this Chéngyǔ is the first time someone set his/her eyes on someone, there was already love.
| 日久生情 |

| Love will come at the right time |
日 : day
