Ode to My First Crush

An ode to my first crush-
to the way her hair curled at the bottom,
to the way her nose scrunched when she smiled,
to the way she would dramatically blink whenever I said something dumb,
to all of those dumb things I said.

to sleepovers every weekend,
to innocent cuddling on her couch,
to the realization that I felt more for her than my other friends,
to my middle-school hormones,
to thinking of kissing her.

to not admitting this to myself until 2 years later, long after she moved away,
to even then, not wanting it to be true,
to being hopelessly smitten with a straight girl.
