Poem
We talk about crushes Found in reciprocation Of feelings Inevitably leading to romance. The crush that flutters stomachs, Turns faces red, And shys the bravest of all. Crushes where A confession Makes or breaks A friendship, Acquaintanceship, Or whatever you have going. The kind that leads To dates and kisses And emotional And physical connections. But there are other crushes That are never spoken of. What's that, you may ask. Well, friend crushes. Friend crushes Aren't having a crush On that friend You've known for some time. Friend crushes Are found when you meet New People. You see them On more than one occurrence And you're infatuated. You want them to like you, More than anything else. You'll do all that you can To get their approval. You're not here for the romance. They just seem cool. You want to be cool. At least, enough for them. You call them pretty, You strike up conversation. There's an intention In your actions, But it's not romance; It's friendship. You want to get their number And message them Whenever they have The time for you. You want to follow each other On all the socials, Commenting and hyping Every photo they post. You want to walk Through a store And send them a picture Because it reminded you of them. You want to share music And interests. Talk about nothing And everything all at once. You want the intimacy Of friendship With its easy touches And fond little laughs. What you want To share secrets And deep conversations That make you think Even after they're gone. You want outings, And support. Smiles and tears. Truth and advice. Friend crushes Are the feelings We have for people We have a connection with That hints at the potentiality Of a friendship.
