I know this is crazy
Or maybe it's not.
But I've never seen anyone
As beautiful as you.

(m.v.a)

The crushes that we have in life
They are the things that keep us going
Now crush doesn't necessarily have to be on a person
A crush can be on a thing like a tv show or some fantasy or on a hobby

These crushes are what keep us moving on and on
Even if we may not notice it we are living for something
Its just finding that something to live for is the tough part of living

There may be push backs from these crushes
You realize that they are fantasy, they reject
Or you find that it just doesn't bring you any more joy
But that is the fun of a crush, you can change it and not feel bad about it

Have your crushes
What ever people may say
What they might think it doesn't matter
As long as you're happy with how things are

Live life
Dream big
Love long
And be happy no matter what

I dont have crushes
Ever since a man thought it was alright to grab my legs
I haven't been able to look at any guys the same
Ever since a man twisted my reality
and told me it was fine if he touched me
I can't picture any guy holding me
So I'm sorry when you talk about how you like him
I can't really relate
I haven't had a crush
Since I was *****

everyone "loves" crushes.
they make your heart race.
make you feel alive.
they give you hope that you want be alone.

but here is the thing about crushes,

                 they crush.

they crush your heart.
mind.
soul.
           until theres nothing left to be crushed.

now tell me..

        still "love" your crush?

or
you going to move onto the next,
thinking this time,
won't be like the last?

Caught my eye
Got my pupils dilating
The heartbeats had to increase
Smiles exchanged but words minced
I should have brushed it off
Or progressively cancelled the thoughts
Ain't stuck in a fantasy
Though it got into my head

Wonder why I've got to overcome
But the heart's got to be guarded
Jealously protected to keep my mind at peace
The feedback doesn't count
Infatuations aint meant to last
What's to be blown away by the wind
Never worth chasing after

So I surrender to time
To wash it all away
That sanity may have its place
And risks of losing the handsome friend lowered
The beautiful friendship to blossom
One to be cherished for a lifetime
