A High School Crush Poem by Zooey Lichty

I look at you with lust and love
and I don’t know what to think
it feels so wrong…
yet so right
to feel these feelings on felt

I look at you and every part of my body
pulses
warms
and grows tender to touch

I watch you and wonder ‘what would we be like together’
‘how great would we be together

I love everything you do
the way your clothes cling to your body
the way you lick your lips after you –
finish eating
the way you smile
just simply the way you are

I wish and hope you know my name
to hear you say it would be orgasmic
when you look at me I blush and turn away

Oh how I love
Oh how I’m in love with you

if only you felt the same
if only you loved a girl
if only you loved this girl
