Notes About The Poem

A crush is someone who may never know you long for them
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Strong Attractions

A crush is someone
you're strongly attracted to
- they just don't know it.

He doesn't know you: check.
you like him: check, he does nothing: 
Check, you fall for him.

I lie in bed and
envision scenarios where
my crush grins at me.

It's so weird that
we can almost stalk someone
and they have no idea.

I'm trying to get hair
out of my mouth and I find
my crush is watching.

Hmmm, I wonder if your "crush" also has a crush on you? And maybe he's just as shy as you are. Just a thought...

He has a crush on HIMSELF, I think. Thanks Rico =]
