52 weeks of positivity (kinda)

Oxygen

Crushes
Are meant to be gifts
Like the 20% of oxygen in air for our lungs
They are butterfly spawning gossip points
The "shhhh" as the person in question walks past

Maybe they are someone you've just met
Or a friend you are seeing in a new light
Or your best friend
Romcoms love putting best friends together
Oh it's so romantic
They'll be such a great couple
As they know each other so well
They've got to like each other back
Right?
Well what happens when the big reveal of feelings scene comes
And they look back at you not with love in their eyes
But awkwardness
You're afraid to ask
But they confirm
Oh yeah, I don't like you back
Are you ok?
"Uhhu"
It would be a bad idea anyway
Don't want to risk the friendship
There's plenty of fish in the sea
Oxygen in the air
But somehow I can't breathe

For me,
It gave our friendship that little bit of sparkle
I never imagined they you'd return those feelings
But I never imagined you would either
Schrödinger's cat
I never pictured it either way
But now the box is wide open
And I really want to hide inside
But there won't be enough oxygen to breathe

And now it's a crush that's not allowed
Every nice feeling or thought
Has a deep black lining
Sometimes your so pretty I have to look away
You said you kind of knew
And now I suspect every word I say as evidence
Look I'm trying
To cut off this crushes oxygen supply
But it turns out the breathing was keeping it at bay
So now I'm the only one whose feeling
Breathless

Notes
This ones a day late. Sorry, I forget once it's the weekend. I can't believe it's end of March already. Big exams coming up. Ahhhhhhhhh. This one, eh. It's alright. I don't love it. This is actually the second version. I had to write it all out again as I disliked the flow of the first one. Anyway it can't be always up up up. I gonna go do this weeks one now so I don't forget.
