Lasting Crush

I had a crush that I adored. She was my friend's sister. One night on the porch swing, I was lucky enough to kiss her. I would flirt and tease, Trying to let her know, But if she had any interest, I never got it to show. Occasionally, we'd flirt, But that's all we'd do. I couldn't find my opening; I had tried all I knew. Eventually, over time, We had drifted apart, But that crush lived; It's still in my heart. It's been twenty years, And I seen her today. She still makes me nervous; I wasn't sure what to say. Then she tells me that She had a crush on me Back then and tried, But her signs I didn't see. We talked a little while About life and how we've been, And it felt to me the same As it did way back then. This time I took no chance; I wasn't waiting on fate. I came right out and asked If I could take her on a date. And wouldn't you know it, She finally said yes to me. After two decades of waiting, Where this goes, we will see.
