PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

crushes are sadly enough much too immature

and we never realize until its way too late that

there is no real cure

except maybe indifference to the fact, time or

outright rejection

some can go long periods without any detection

but becomes quite obvious when the object of your

crush takes small steps toward defection

usually this painfully then points us in the right

direction

we nurse our small wounds and eventually heal

and then on to another quest and phase of enlightenment

we fall under the knife and again start to feel

crushes are just practice for the kind of love we're

just not quite ready for yet

real love has so many ups and downs

that personally I feel for teenagers

crushes are their best bet

you get to experience a whole gambit of emotions

without the true impact of full fledged heartache

you shouldn't try to stop having crushes even when

you're an adult

because they only exist as practice for your

emotion's sake.............
