crush

by Fairley Lloyd

he looks good in those shorts

it makes my breath short

those chocolate brown eyes i draw them as i sigh

gelled hair so pretty all he does gets me i draw hearts for him and me

but he will never see

it’s not like i expect

something will happen next

so why am i like this? why am i like this?

i’ve met many people but somehow, he’s a jewel

he’s woke and so kind and he looks so fine

if he wasn’t so cute i wouldn’t be mute no blush in my cheeks

i could finally speak

i’m tongue tied in a way

i cannot explain

frustrates me so much

dang it, i’ve got a crush!
