Crushing On You

In the quiet corners of my heart,

I hold a love that cannot be spoken,

A love that dances in the shadows,

Unseen, unnoticed, unclaimed.


It lingers like a gentle mist,

Soft and ethereal,

Wrapping me in its tender embrace,

Yet never revealing itself to the world.


I watch you from afar,

Admiring the way you move through life,

The way your smile lights up the room,

The way your laughter fills the air.


But my love remains a secret,

A treasure hidden deep within,

A flame that burns brightly,

Yet remains untouched by your gaze.


I long to tell you,

To open my heart and let the words spill out,

But fear holds me back,

Fear of rejection, of vulnerability, of loss.


And so I keep my love hidden,

A precious gem tucked away,

Shining brightly in the darkness,

A silent testament to the depth of my feelings.


For loving someone without them knowing,

Is a bittersweet kind of pain,

A beautiful agony that I carry with me,

A whispered confession that will never be heard.
