That First Crush

Everyone has had that first crush
glimpses of them that made you blush
and got your heart racing faster than light
made your day their one sight,
oh boy, what an absolute delight.


From a distance, you noticed them smile
and your lips would rebel and follow the suit
no control over yourself, so weak and fragile
your steps hunting wildly in their pursuit.

Day dreaming about them was like a norm
bumping into them, in a deserted dorm
summoning all the courage, you speaking your heart
and then she would blush, arrows on dart.


All those fantasies that your heart continued to brew  
dreams are dreams though, not always true
and so from a distance, you would watch them cry
wondering what's wrong, to ask should you try?


But by her side, she has so many peers
to comfort and care, to wipe the tears
why would she seek for the unknown in you
haunted by this fear of rejection, the times of past flew

And you could really never tell
the feelings in your heart that dwell
and watch from a distance, for the moment you'd live
when their drifting eyes would randomly strike yours
like an electric touch, the rush of adrenaline it'd give
leaving you an addict with no real cures.


That first crush is now only for the memories
Life has since happened and took them far
the treasure of their reminiscence is all you have
hidden deep within you with some wounds and a scar.
