A crush or love

Love in one direction 
Longing for connection 
Their heart belongs to someone else
My soul hurts and melts
Something else gets to hold them
I can only look and condemn 
As I know I can be better
And hurt them never
Heart break for something in return
Feeling like a crash burn
I put my heart on a sleeve 
One day they may believe
They are your true soul mate
I know we would be true and great
They are super sweet and clever
I dream and know we are a never 
We are not even in the same league
But maybe I can spike their intrigue 
I continue to dream of their gentle kiss
Be someone they can’t dismiss
A friendly act plays with my mind
Maybe their love has been reassigned 
A gentle touch sets off sparks
Maybe some flirting and kind remarks
A smile and a gaze tease me
Set their mind free to be with me
My heart aches for a meaningful hug
To stop feeling like such a mug
I’m not brave enough to confront this
I will continue longing for one true kiss
