Crushing On You

I’m crushing on you; can’t you see
the look on my face when you’re near?
You don’t even seem to see me,
and that is the thing I most fear.

Each time that I see you walk by,
I’m crushing on you; can’t you see
how I’m trying to catch your eye?
Just how obvious must I be?

Sometimes you turn nonchalantly
toward me watching you. I turn red!
I’m crushing on you. Can’t you see?
I’ve no way to get in your head!

To my existence, are you blind?
Please tell me the reality.
For always it’s you on MY mind.
I’m crushing on you; can’t you see?

It's interesting how you always seem to get a 'crush' on the one person who is completely unaware of you - but maybe that's the point?

I must have felt this way about ten different guys from junior high until college! I dated a lot, but for some dang reason the ones i crushed on were rarely the ones who sought me out!

How I felt whenever I was around any of my sisters, you included, sis. With their boyfriends and me looking at the guy noticing him looking at anyone but me.

yes, I know, Jenny and I'm sorry you felt that way. You were a late bloomer and you found Your MR RIGHT in the end!! Do you remember the many years I pined for the likes of Chris Frogley, Ricky Adams, Dan, the list goes on and on.....

Sometimes people don't want to make a move in case they've read the signs wrong. Or worse they're not interested, humans are strange creatures at times. Tom. Good luck.

One of the fascinating facts of life is when everyone can see adoration except the intended! Nicely caught! Aloha! Rico
