Peoms For Those Who Hate This Planet

My First Crush

I met this boy in Kindergarten.
And we were very close friends.
In first grade,
I remember kissing his cheek
then being embarrassed about it later
because I knew he never like me
the same way I liked him.

I always thought in the back of my head,
Maybe he likes me too.
But I moved away before I could find out.
We never spoke again.
I've even tried to get a hold of him through social media.
He never accepted my friend request.

From this,
I understand that you may love someone,
who doesn't love you back that same way.
But it's okay.
Maybe you just need to take a deep breath,
read a book,
find new people,
and always remember them
and keep them in your hearts.

It's just your first crush after all.
I'm sure there are plenty more
crushes to go around afterwards.
