Crushed

let me tell you about my crush
she’s cute & she’s smart & she makes me laugh
she dances in my head
when i’m not being distracted

she’s vulnerable & strong
she’s a work of art in motion
she’s a song from the back rafters
she’s a smile on the face of the night

she’s far away, under unknown skies
i’m too young for her
she’s too young for me
& she’ll never never know how i feel about her

she casts a silver shadow
when she slips through secret streets
she has an aura of raw sugar
she wears her heart on her sleeve

my crush is not perfection
my crush is not a dream
she’s cracked & she’s chipped & she’s scarred
& she can never be with me

she’s far away, on her own adventures
i’m too young for her
she’s too young for me
& i doubt she even remembers my name
