Do You?

My friends say you do,

but I'm not so sure.

Do you like me too?

Or will my tears pour?

I've liked you for a while,

there's just something about you, dude.

You can always make me smile.

Even when I'm in a bad mood.

People always ask me,

has he asked you yet?

All of them can see.

They know my heart is set.

Author's Note

A short poem about a crush I've had for a while.

Bravo to this!

I love how you described having a crush so simple and so utterly pure yet it rebel-izes the fact that with such crushes, there can be torn expectations. Truly, a poem like this is a great outlet to let out feelings of simplicity though set out with such grandeur.

I like the format you have on this poem and it has a wonderful story that infers a person having a sort of crush on another.

You packed a lot into the few words. I guess we have all had our crushes during our lifetimes. :) I hope it works out for you. You captured the essence of a crush well in the powerful words you chose. Well done! :) You were kind enough to visit me, so I felt I should repay your kindness. :)

[Quinn W]

Thank you! I hope it works out too! I plan on telling him soon actually.

[SJ Mullins]

You're welcome! Go for it! :) If, God forbid, he does not feel the same way, just remember, there are more fish in the sea! :) Best wishes.

I love how much thought and feeling is packed into this even though it is short. Not a word is wasted. I also really like the visual layout. It can almost be seen as three different viewpoints in the poem - 1) questioning how he feels, 2) telling how you feel, and 3) the reactions of outsiders.

Well done, Quinn.

On first reading this I was reminded of a poem I wrote for a girl I crushed on back in my early 20s. It was cheesy, but I can still remember the opening stanza:

If you only knew what I was thinking
as you greet me once again
If you only knew my heart was sinking
because to you I'm just a friend

Haha - bad, I know. I never gave it to her.

AAAWWWW! Why not? It's s cute! If a guy gave that poem to me, no matter who he was, we'd be at the courthouse the next day! Thank you so much!

Hahaha! Thanks, Quinn.
