Crush



I have a secret in my heart,
That I've kept for a long while.
Cupid shot me with a dart,
And aimed me for your style.
In my dreams I see your face,
As it banished all my fears.
I would tell you face to face,
But I'd make a river with my tears.
I discover you're my crush,
And will be until the end.
There's nothing that I could rush,
Because you will only be a friend.
I sit here lonely with you in mind.
From the day that we first met.
Love is nothing I will find,
And nothing i will get.
