My Crush

~~~

From the first day I saw you

You stole my heart

I'm just about ready

To fall apart.

~~~

Everytime I see you

My heart pounds and flutters

My stomach tosses and turns

My thoughts are a clutter.

~~~

You never look my way

Not even a glance

All I really want

Is just one single glance.

~~~

I may not say yes

At being your lover

I'd just like to talk

Get to know one another.

~~~

I'd hope we'd start out

At just being pals

It'll happen one day

I know it shall.

~~~

You're in my dreams

My fantasies as well

But when I wake up

It's a sweet farewell.

~~~

You're a mystery to me

I want to go inside your head

If you let me in

I'd listen to each little thread.

~~~

You're like a star

I am the sky

We are a match

You and I.

~~~

When I'm around you

I have a great sense of wonder

It's like I've been hit by an arrow

Or a great bolt of thunder.

~~~

I'm curious about your nature

So calm and quiet

But when you open up your mouth

You cause quite a riot.

~~~

A riot inside me

My heart, my dreams, my soul

My world starts to spin

It gets out of control.

~~~

One word from you

Is like bread to a peasant

Maybe a hello

That would be pleasant.

~~~

My strings have been pulled

To their extent

I'm not quite sure

What would make me content.

~~~

I may have made you

Something you are not

I could be wrong

But hey, so what?

~~~

We stand by each other

When we are in need

We never fight

We never plead.

~~~

We grow close

Becoming friends and mates

And in our relationship

We experience no hate.

~~~

I learn from you

You learn from me

We're like Gump and Jenny

In that old oak tree.

~~~

Every day we move closer

Your warmth sucks me in

You stay with me

Through thick and thin.

~~~

Huck and Finn

Didn't come as close as this

If the raft breaks

Our friendship I will miss.

~~~

When you break my barrier

You find the true me

I finally let you in

It's a great shopping-spree.

~~~

But when reality breaks

My lips are sealed

My heart has a hole

By you it is healed.

~~~

My crush is kept quiet

You have no clue

How in my silence

I adore you.

~~~

But these words

About my obsession

Are my true feelings

This is a confession.

~~~

I will end this now

All is true

I'll part by saying

I love...

Dedicated to Bart
