letters to a crush

letter 3

should i smile because you're my friend,
or cry because that's all you'll ever be?

-anonymous-

--•--

today we had a conversation.

aren't i pathetic?

remembering in detail a thirty second conversation,

scrutinizing your every move,

every tone and change of voice.

overreacting.

overthinking.

you consumed my thoughts entirely,

while i probably left your mind immediately. 

a crush is the worst kind of love.

it is one that is hidden

embarrassing

cherished.

and completely

and totally

unreturned.
