We haven’t even gotten through
The first week of classes, and
So far my favorite part of the
Semester has been seeing him
Around campus. I almost can’t
Stand this. I wanna take his hand
In mine, and ignore any complications
To him and I that I could find.
A hug hello, but never goodbye
As my campus crush is a guy
I know I’ll always be passing by.
It seems when he’s around, I can’t
Be bothered to produce a frown.
Even when the world, seems to
Have flipped and turned upside
Down, I know he will always
Provide a few moments that
Steal me away from the repetitive
Stress of everyday life. Even if
Everytime we come into contact
We look into each other’s eyes
For a little too long before one of
Us continues on with what we were
Saying, I still wouldn’t trade the
Random awkward moments we
Share for anything that feels Infuriating.
I wish, dating was as simple as him
And I. But I’m too afraid to admit,
That a hug from a man has never
Made me feel as safe as one from
him did. I can’t tell why, I’m so
Hung up on a guy. Seeing my campus
Crush after such a long break, helped
Ease some of my stress and heartache.
It seems after even just a few words
Between us are exchanged, I can
Always crack a smile that day.
Some people I get tired of, but
This guy just so happens to be,
Someone I hope never goes away.
We all have our bad days, but I
Don’t know if any negativity ever
Actually impacted his day. Because
It seems no matter the occasion
The days will always grace him
With the ability to crack a smile
so bright.
