Vijay Pandit Poet Free verse

You Had a Crush On Her

You had a crush on her

You had a crush on her
Being sure as well
Love is what you felt,

Dating her exclusively
Without ever telling her.

She indulged in your care
Like you were her kid-brother,

And you rejoiced finding passion
In proximity of her splendor,

Feeling mighty blessed
When she wrapped you in a hug.

You didn’t know how to ask
What kind of love that was,

Had no clue how to talk about
The flutter in your heart,

And now you're too grown-up to ask
Yet, you are dying to find out
If she ever connected the dots.

L. J. Carber April 8, 2020 at 12:06 PM Oh Vijay, a man hasn't truly lived if he doesn't have lost loves to look back upon! Congrats my friend.

Vladislav Raven January 15, 2019 at 10:28 AM Hi Vijay, I can surely relate to this my friend. It is so easy to see the scene through your wonderful works. Many are the crushes I have had, from high school on. I gave up having crushes about four to five years ago. Love sings onto the page. You have expressed the feelings so well my friend. Have a wonderful Tuesday. Your friend always....Mike.

James Swartz January 7, 2018 at 11:42 AM This is a sad but great poem Vijay. I am sure many can relate to this and you told this so perfectly that many thought back to their first crush and wished they had that courage that is lacking in this poem. A magnificent write.

Andrea Dietrich January 7, 2018 at 10:41 AM Hmmm, if she is not showing him the same affection back, she must not want to connect the dots! I like this, Vijay.

Connie Marcum Wong January 6, 2018 at 7:04 PM This poem shows that men have just as profound of feelings as women do, if not more! I loved this Vijay! Beautiful! : ) Vijay Pandit January 7, 2018 at 6:26 AM Thank you Connie--enjoyed reading your comments.

Akkina Downing January 6, 2018 at 1:21 PM I used to have a crush on our Priest, mind you I was only 7years old, and he was the handsomest man I ever seen, until I was eight and met for the first time a white man with the bluest eyes and blond hair. I told our priest I can't marry him anymore because I will be marrying an American white man with blue eyes. He said he was heartbroken but he must let me follow my dream. Lol! Hope this made you smile :) Vijay Pandit January 6, 2018 at 4:19 PM It sure made me smile. A cute love story---two love stories in fact! Thank you friend for your comments.

Silent One January 6, 2018 at 9:52 AM I think girls realise better than boys when it comes to crushes.. I think back and recall all those that I never realised... So many that got away.. Great write Vijay.. Vijay Pandit January 6, 2018 at 4:15 PM Thank you Silent One..you are right about the female instincts.
