A crush is like a dream,
A fleeting thing so mild,
A vision of perfection,
You see them from a distance,
With wonder and respect,
But never dare to say,
How much they have an effect on you,
The sight of them ignites a spark,
Their presence leaves a lasting mark,
But a crush can also bring you  pain,
The hopelessness, the doubt, the endless rain,
A crush can be so pure,
A feeling hard to bear,
And though you may not speak,
The words lie within ,
A simple, honest feeling,
Can touch a heart so thin,
So let your crush be known,
In ways that do not scare,
For beauty that lies in honesty,
And love is always rare.
