I have a crush
My pelvis throbs anytime anyone hot comes near me;
But this? It's different.
I feel your presence.
Your body? It's almost pulling me towards you.
You feel familiar.
Like past me was friends with you in high school in a parallel universe.
I can feel you staring at the side of my face sometimes.
I pretend to be casual.
I crack jokes and try to get to know you better.
I also don't wanna scare you off.
Last night, I checked out your Instagram by chance.  
Your joke captions nail the accompanying photo so well I want to kiss your forehead.
I want to hug your body against mine.
I want to trace kisses down your neck and warm my hands with your hands
I want to fall asleep strewn across your chest.

You are safe.
