One moment can change your life.
You know it.
The moment your heart tugs.
The moment your cheeks heat up (or ears, if you're not a blusher).
Stomach turning is something new.

This is when your life is turned upside down.

We all have that moment where we develop a 'crush' on other people.
You might not even know it at first!
It can happen any day, any time.

When it does... You're screwed.

No instructions.
No clues.
No advice.

You're on your own in this bizarre love roller-coaster.
It's a flip of a coin.

Fifty chance, your crush will like you back.
Fifty chance, your crush will reject you.

No one ever tells you that love is pain.
No one tells you the risks of being in love.
No one tells you the anxious feeling nor do they tell you about the denial stage.
People keep secrets, for fear that you'll never open up.

Yet, love is a marvelous thing.

Love can lead to connections.
Love helps find that one special person.

That one person who you'd die for.
That one person you want to hold dearly.
You can tell your deep and darkest secrets to.
The one who you can truly be yourself without anyone judging.

You never want to let go, because they mean so much to you.

You would do anything for your soulmate, but... Would they return the favor?
Are they worth the risk?
Would they die for you?
Do they truly love you... Or your bestie there?

Crushes are tricky, but whatever your decision is, be aware.
There's a chance that you're secretly being used.

A/N: This was my poem titled 'Crushes'. Do anyone of you have a crush? If so, nice! Just make sure that they love you.

This was inspired by a conversation I had with a old classmate of mine from last year.

My classmate admitted that he had a crush on me last year. Ironically, in the same year, a girl (she knows who she is) confessed that she had a crush on me.

I never saw the signs, and when I did, I was ecstatic. Yet... My parents weren't. That's another personal story of mine.

Anywho, I learnt that once you find out, the thoughts haunt you. You feel stupid for not knowing sooner, not recognizing the signs.

Then again, I don't think I talked to the guy last year and he's taller than me.

On top of that, we were have awkward pauses where neither of us knew what to say.

Wait, what am I telling you this? *looks at title* Oh... Nevermind. I hope you guys enjoyed this, and I'll see you in the next one! Bye!
