WRITING OBSTACLE
Submitted by Lola
Create a descriptive passage or poem depicting the very first moments of a crush forming.
nothing but a crush
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 nothing but conversations with my friends
I overthought every interaction
Every touch of skin
Whether it was purposeful
Or simply an accident
And there’s a small thrill
That comes with this feeling
Small butterflies that creep up
Alongside a pink blush
Nothing but a crush
