crushing on you

realized i liked you
despite me not wanting to
tried so hard to keep
these feelings at bay

despite my best efforts
butterflies fluttered
whenever you said my name

first time meeting
you took my breath away
knew i couldn't look again
cause damn what a face

the way you smiled at me
and considered my wellbeing
and laughed at my jokes
even when they weren't funny

how easily you noticed
when i was uncomfortable
or tried sharing food with me
despite my attempts to ignore you

slowly slowly
you got me crushing
got harder and harder
to see you friendly

i didn't want to fall
and yet here i am
waiting for you
to see me once again

didn't even notice
how i started changing
trying to impress you
hoping for something

when you sat next to me
and got upset when i left
did you want to say more
when i was reading your text?

do you like me back?
or are you just nice?
am i taking it the wrong way?
any sign will suffice!

unfortunately these things
get caught up in our heads
dreaming and dazing
when reality says arrête

i will not make the first move
and i don't think you will either
so i'm going to assume
you don't like me like that, final.

i hate that i'm crushing on you
unable to move on
there's so many other guys
who would actually respond

unless you say the words
i will try to move on
painful as it may be
seeing you around a lot

as soon as you're out of my mind
you find your way to me again
you make me like you somehow
and make me want kids somehow
and make me want to be a wife somehow

wtf
