Dear Crush

Dear Secret Crush,

There are people that you see in life that give you that feeling of shock when your eyes meet. When you see them walk by and all your attention immediately shifts to follow their path. That one person that maybe you've never talked to. Or... maybe you've been friends for years and that's why it's so hard. That feeling of always being by their side and seeing their smiles and their tears. Watching every person that steals their heart only to leave it behind in a shattered mess. I wouldn't do that to you, but how would you know? I'll probably never find the courage to tell you how I feel. Maybe I'll pine for you for years because how can I move on from someone that I see everyday? Or maybe you'll finally get tired of all the people that won't ever love you like I could if given the chance. Maybe one day you'll even learn to love me back and you'll make the move and make my secret known. Then we would laugh about how we could've been together all this time. But then that would be cliche, and that just never happens in real life. So I'll stand by your side with that what if of what it would be like if we were more, and maybe, just maybe, I'll be over you one day.

Love,

What If.
