Scratching the Surface (Poems)

Crush

A/N: This is based off personal experience... 

------------------

I didn't notice 

At first. 

I didn't see 

The signs. 

I thought it was just 

A little fling. 

That hurts while it lasts, 

But then goes away. 

--- 

But then I started to 

Notice

How my hear beat faster when you 

Were around. 

How I thought of you when 

You were far away.  

It wasn't my normal anxiety. 

It was something more. 

---- 

At first, I tried to 

Ignore it. 

I've been in this place 

Before. 

But you did something that 

Few people had. 

And made yourself 

Unforgettable. 

--- 

You smiled 

At me. 

You laughed

For me. 

You said hi 

To me. 

You wouldn't 

Ignore me. 

---- 

You genuinely seemed to... 

To like me. 

---- 

And finally, I 

Realized 

I couldn't let you 

Go. 

You send shivers up my spine. 

You set my heart on fire. 

(I know it's kinda poetic, but 

I don't know how else to tell you.) 

---- 

So please excuse me when I 

Stutter. 

Or if there's an awkward 

Pause. 

I've always been a 

Shy person. 

I don't know how else 

To act. 

---- 

I don't plan to tell you I 

Love you. 

But I hope we'll at least 

Become friends. 

So don't give up on me 

Please don't give up on me. 

And I'll be there until 

The end.
