crush
(verb)
to deform, pulverize or force inwards by compressing forcefully
that’s how my body felt every time he walked by
pulverized and compressed.
every inch of my being all of a sudden unable to function,
is this why it is called a crush?
because you literally feel like you are being crushed?
just him, his whole being,
being wonderful,
being kind,
being him.
crushing me
the cold snow on by back as we lay next to each other on the snow,
under the moon,
me seeing shooting stars
him not.
me shivering
him not
me being in love
him
maybe
not.
