A seed was dropped inside my heart

And before I could even realize,

Its growth began to start

The seed bloomed a flower,

Which grew with every passing hour

Every stolen glance

Every single “hi”

Puts me into a trance

As I go to sleep

And dream of a future

A future of you and me

It’s childish

Nothing but a crush

But man what that seed has become

It’s thriving on nothing but my delirious self

On noth...

I noticed you from a distance

I never thought much

But now

Up close

Your kinda cute

Your cheeks all rosy

Your hair cut short

Your cute laugh

I know your a bit older

But I can’t get you off my mind

And it might just be a friend crush thing

Or it might be more

I don’t really want it to be more

But the flutters decide otherwise

So I’ll just have to see where it leads...

her eyes are

blue

i’m so close

to her

i can see her

freckles

she smiles

my heart stops

what is this

i feel?

she’s just

a friend

she doesn’t

like me anyway

but she’s

so kind

and so

pretty

maybe i’m getting

a crush of sorts?...

The blush creeps in

And the panic arrises

I don’t have the devices

To stop all the rises

God she is hot

So is he

Oh my gosh

Is this what it feels like

To be falling in love

No

Shake your head

Get rid of the thought

You don’t even know them

Dang those dimples,

And lord their style!

Is that the book I think it is?

Do I actually really like them.

I will just walk away

Never see them again

And fo...

At first it’s just a thought, but it quickly becomes obsessive. It’s always so many thoughts.

I could recall every mannerism and speech pattern with ease- ask me.

I could write poem after poem but I can’t find anything that rhymes with his name.

I sit observing, because I’m too scared to talk. It isn’t that I’m too scared to talk, but what to say?

Math, Social Studies, P.E., each class we ha...

_What is this emotion,_

_This sudden feeling of warmth?_

_This rush coursing through me,_

_Why did it appear when she passed?_

_Why are my cheeks burning like a stovetop,_

_And rosy like a ladybug’s back?_

_Why is my heart thumping foribly,_

_Like it’s trying to escape my chest to greet her?_

_Why do my hands feel doused,_

_Like I put them out the window during rainfall?_

_What is this unnatural...

Did your heart flutter knowing I was watching you from across the room?

Or am I the only one whose pulse races at the thought of being admired?

I could feel your curiosity, mirroring mine.

Connections like ours aren’t meant for the real world—too fragile, too exposed.

Souls like this can’t survive the surface.

Saying it out loud would shatter the illusion, break the spell.

So we keep our secret, j...

We just met on the first day of class, it was theatre. Listening to the girls talking with the teacher, and making friends with people. I find “him” as we started to get along communications stopped. I wonder why that is. “Well maybe he just needs some space” until it’s been 2 months.

I talk to him again, having a deep crush that I keep gaslighting myself into pretending I don’t. The way he look...

“ Dude, I cant reach this stupid plate.” I mumbled, looking up at the pearly white plate, it was reflective, showing me how pathetic I looked.

“ Plate?” My best friend looked at me, walking over.

I was just about to respond, yet he did something I couldnt quite shake.

Holding full eye contact, he casually grabbed the plate, reaching over my short frame.

I don’t know why, but in that momemt, I ques...

I work in a former foundry which has been converted into a four floor office. One morning I went up to the office and, before I got to my desk I realized I left my earbuds in my car.

So I charged down the stairs and opened the door at the bottom of the landing. And that’s when I saw her.

At first you’d think she was nerdy. Blonde curly hair, glasses. But…oh my God. She had a beautiful s...
