The Unspoken Dance: A High School Crush's Tale

In the realm of high school, our paths did collide,
A chance encounter, where our worlds did coincide,
I walked, oblivious, not looking in my stride,
No courage to apologize, my feelings I did hide,
Your gaze, from head to toe, left me feeling wide-eyed,
No trace of embarrassment, in that moment, I did confide.

Strangers we were, on that fateful day,
No specific date pinned, memories in disarray,
But the events remain crystal clear, I must say,
Grade 7, when destiny paved the way,
Unaware that you were the one I bumped into, I must convey,
As time passed, realization struck, like a sun's ray.

Grade 8 arrived, and classmates we became,
Whispers of your affection, ignited a flame,
A magical revelation, hard to believe, yet untamed,
For I, too, harbored a crush, a secret I couldn't tame,
Not the day we collided, but a love that grew, untamed,
Fixing curtains, you dismissed the helper, staking your claim.

The man departed, and I followed suit,
Apologies for our youthful pursuit,
When you called, I turned away, in pursuit,
But when your friend beckoned, I faced the truth,
Testing your sincerity, a glimpse into your heart's root,
My intentions pure, seeking love's eternal fruit.

Amongst my crushes, you were the second to reciprocate,
A delightful journey, our hearts couldn't negate,
Locked in a room, just the two of us, a twist of fate,
Yet, I insisted our friends remain, a decision I can't abate,
Admitting the letter was mine, a truth I couldn't negate,
Destiny's course uncertain, but our memories resonate.

In the future, I hope to find my destined mate,
But you, my high school crush, forever hold a weight,
A savior, a shield, in a world filled with hate,
You never gossiped, never succumbed to the bait,
While others talked behind my back, you stood straight,
Thank you for your loyalty, a memory I appreciate.

I'm glad to see you happy now, as time goes by,
Take care always, my high school crush, with a sigh,
You'll forever be a part of my cherished past,
A beacon of light, a love that will forever last,
In the tapestry of my high school memories amassed,
You made my experience unforgettable, a love unsurpassed.
