That One Crush

In the stillness of the night, I sit alone,
A poet lost in memories, my heart aches and moans.
With pen in hand and thoughts adrift,
I reminisce on love's bittersweet gift.

Years have passed since that fateful day,
When her enchanting presence took my breath away.
A love blossomed within my soul,
And now, in solitude, its tale I unfold.

For six long years, I've held her dear,
A love that blossomed, crystal clear.
But fate's cruel twist kept us apart,
I yearned for the touch of her gentle heart.

Last year, a chance I longed to seize,
To gaze into her eyes and put my heart at ease.
But alas, destiny played its hand,
And we missed our moment, slipping like sand.

Yet the memory of her still burns bright,
Like a beacon in the depths of night.
Her smile, a flicker of sunlight's grace,
I carry it with me, in every secret place.

In the corridors of my mind, we dance,
Lost in a world where love's sweet trance.
Our imaginary encounters, vivid and true,
In this clandestine realm, our love grew.

I wonder if she ever had a clue,
Of the depths of my love, so pure and true.
The poems I penned in her honor and name,
Each word aflame, a burning flame.

Though we never met that last fateful year,
In my heart, she remains eternally near.
A muse, a dream, a love untold,
A story of longing and emotions untold.

Tonight, as I sit here and reminisce,
I embrace the moments I yearned to kiss.
For even if our paths never entwined,
Her memory within me, forever enshrined.

In the depths of night, my ink shall flow,
A testament to the love I'll always know.
And as the stars twinkle above, so bright,
I'll cherish our moments, my love, goodnight.
