Unraveling the threads of my mind
Seems like a job for another time,
All thoughts go helter-skelter,
When your sound rings in my ear.

Carefully assembled each thought
Like a house of cards, precise and taut,
But all my work goes in vain,
As your single smile scrambles my brain.

Cool and calm, I present my visage
But on inside your each action I gauge,
Did you like me, or did you not?
Was a question I asked myself a lot.

Oh my dear crush, your presence
Is what soothes and burns me,
Our late-night, random conversations
Give me half-baked consolations.

I never felt this way, an urge for aproval,
For independence was my daily apparel,
This unusual sensation tickled my mind,
This situation put me in a bind.

I temper and fortify, the strongest barricades,
To protect our friendship, from this facade,
Friendship was more pure and true, I knew this,
Why break a bond when it would be missed?

Though I call you my crush,
I won't be crushed by your blush,
When red softly colours yours cheeks,
I keeping falling for you,
again and again, in a matter of weeks.
