A Crush is Not Just a Crush

By: Yankely Olga Gonzalez

A crush is not just a crush
When the mere thought of you
Could brighten up even the worst day.

A crush is not just a crush
When I feel your presence next to me
And I cannot help but look away.

A crush is not just a crush
When simply by looking at me
You put a tremendous smile on my face.

A crush is not just a crush
When just your waving hello
Makes my heart beat at an unusual pace.

A crush is not just a crush
When just by eating lunch with you
My appetite seems to quickly disappear.

A crush is not just a crush
When my hands begin to tremble
The instant you are near.

A crush is not just a crush
When being so nervous around you
Limits our conversation to Hi's and Bye's.

A crush is not just a crush
When, while sitting in class,
I daydream about you and let out several sighs.

A crush is not just a crush
When the thought of there being an "us"
Is slowly tearing me apart.

A crush is not just a crush
When I think of you not liking me
And it's truly breaking my tender heart.
