Wish #1

I wish I had something else to say-

something not related to him in any way.

But he's all I can think about; he's taking up all the space

in my mind right now. I just can't erase

the idea of us being more than just friends.

But I'm not trying to rush any sort of happy end.

I've got plenty of time to find someone who

could fall in love with me; it doesn't have to be you.

Though it would be nice to be given a chance

to get to know you better, and catch a glance

into the world of intimacy. I haven't seen much before.

It's all still new to me, and I want to explore

what it might be like to get that close to someone-

to be vulnerable and receive a little affection.

I have always dreamt of it happening one day.

Could I be getting close? Or is there no way

that he feels anything like I feel about him?

I wouldn't be surprised if the odds were slim.

Let's be totally honest: not many people have ever

shown much interest in me, and I've never

been in love before. I'm not even sure I can,

but I've always pictured myself married to a man

someday in the future. Not any time soon.

I'm still only just a kid and a total goon!

By chance that could be something people like

to see in a girl, because I've got the light

shining in my heart. I'm not afraid to be

alone in the dark, 'cause I know eventually

someone will come along and light up a match.

We'll both sit by the fire, and our souls will latch

right onto each other. We'll get along so well,

and sing a couple songs. We'll have a story to tell.

Anyone else get this intensely emotional about a crush? It always feel so new when it happens to me! Thanks for reading!
