Crushes suck.
Your brain decides that a person is what you need to fix yourself or that you're what they need to be fixed.
You get put in a haze for days, weeks, or months.
You become oblivious to anything remotely bad about them.
You tune out anyone else.
You become stuck in a pit, just waiting and hoping for them to notice you.
But, you can't force someone to like you.
That's a lesson that I've learned too many times.
No matter how much you love, how much you wish, and how you cry you can't make them like you.
That's why they call it a crush.
It's the feeling you get when you realise you'll never be the one who makes their heart flutter.
You'll never be the one who makes them stay up all night.
You'll never be the one they want to marry.
And you just have to live with it.
No matter how much it breaks you, you'll just have to move on.
