what are crushes anyways?

love bombs

faded affairs

or just the fact that someone is there?


first or second dates

don't really mean much

if all they want is to provide a soft touch


malt shakes and movie theater dates

the 1950s seem like a twist of fate

boys don't come up to your door anymore

they just want your knees on the floor


some have that special aura

the kind that makes you sigh

"where have you been all my life?"


somehow, someway

I am proven wrong

by an unspoken truth

do i mean anything to you?


third grade crushes

butterflies in my stomach

doesn't really seem real anymore

when all they do is beg for more

not for my attention or time

but rather pillow talk

and my thick thighs


i want to know what is inside of your soul

i'm not the kind of girl you can just let go


i really like you

do you like me?

this is more than just a dream, you see

i want to love you

tell you you're the one

or maybe I'm just jumping the gun


love is different from a small crush

but sometimes that can change

when two come together as one

do you admire me

like i admire you?

or is it all in my head

while i lie next to you in your bed
