When one feels they would do
anything for that person
I had a crush on someone
When I looked at her
It was as if the rest of the
world melted away
And left only the two of us
Her simplest motions caught
my breath and took it away
My heart would pound when
she was in sight
And when she smiled….
The feeling I got was
indescribable
But….
I came to see that she
didn’t really look at me
At least, not in the way I
looked at her
And one cold, rainy, lonely
night
It wouldn’t happen
Even if I did get up the
nerve to talk to her
Ask her out
Or just smile at her
It wouldn’t work
She wouldn’t like me because
my nose was too big, or my braces too ugly
Or some other reason out of
the hundreds possible
She wouldn’t reject me in a
cruel way mind you
No, she would smile ‘that”
smile at me and tell me it wouldn’t work out
This would be even worse
than her rejecting me cruelly
At least if she was venomous
about it I would feel some anger
Some hate towards her
But if she rejected me
kindly as I knew she would
My heart would hurt, but
long even more
Oh much more
I guess that’s what they
mean by a crush
That’s how you feel
Crushed
But one has to grit one’s
teeth and move on I suppose
Even when crushed
“Doubt and hesitation are
terrible things. Never let them keep you from your dreams. Whatever they may
be.”
