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
