Poem Title:
Poem
it is of course the waiting, which can drive us mad, when one realizes that they have feelings for someone else (to put it lightly) & this is twice as difficult when the mystery of whether or not they feel the same hangs in the balance & every day is like a tightrope walk, where suddenly what had been a casual approach to life, now gets honed down to the wire & one finds themselves suspicious of their own motives, practicing speeches, pondering reactions & overall, just not wanting to **** up any chance with whoever it is that you got the crush on---now, unrequited love can suck, no doubt about that & one can start to wonder just how many times you have to fall before you stay down on the ground, refusing to get up, but there are alternatives. the comfortable crush is different, for it is spawned from two individuals who have spent time well before affection emerged & from this friendship, companionship in some way or mere acquaintance at work or in some other social context, a bond arises which shows itself to be blooming at its own pace, owing nothing to deliberate attempts at satisfying the individual needs of one person, but instead, through that beautiful meshing of the two.
