I noticed you today, and can I admit?

I fell head over heels, literally and figuratively

I have never met anyone like you in my entire life

You're so charming, fun, and I can't believe I'm saying this-perfect.

I can't get you out of my mind. 

You're stuck in my brain, and I'm hopelessly embarrassed.

God, no wonder they call it a crush-when x loves y, the others crush you with humiliation.

But I can't help myself, you are just so...No! I'm not going to say it!....perfect.

When I think of you the butterflies just fly everywhere, as though their trying to escape. 

Can I admit? I've never felt like this before-Like I'm soaring in the great blue sky...

Stop it. This is not a big deal. This is not a mushy letter. And I don't have a crush on you.

Okay, ...I might have just a small one. I mean, it's not as if your the most handsome...

Okay, okay, okay, I admit it-I have a large crush on you...wait did I just write that?!

What a super cute poem! I really enjoy the simplicity behind this poem. It is very clearly about developing a crush on someone and being emotional about it.

I love very simple poems like this because being simple is just as difficult to write as it is to write a more complex poem. Everyone is shooting for the moon to make poems nowadays as detailed as possible but many people forget about the stars to be simple yet effective.

Keep up the great work and keep writing from the heart.

I really like this poem. It's thing is something that most people can relate to on some level. I enjoyed the bubbly tone, and you showed how people feel when they are crushing on someone really well.
One thing I do want to mention is how it doesn't feel much like a letter to me. When writing letters, I feel we tend to rewrite things, cut things out, and debate with ourselves with what we're going to write. In this letter, there are a lot of contradictions. especially in the last line where the writer expresses disbelief at what they wrote. In a letter, someone would just delete it.
Overall, though, the grammar and spelling was good, and the tone was really fun. I enjoyed reading this! Keep on writing, and have a great day!

First off really cute poem. It's so relatable I can't even.
The enthusiasm and nervousness of the sender is so prevalent, feel like they are really young and haven't had a crush yet. But that's just my interpretation.

In terms of style, I didn't really like it as a poem. Just because of the way it flowed rhythmically and the way its written, almost frantically. I feel like it would have been better written as an actual letter, so it could develop from more than a note.

Again this is just me. I am in no way a professional, but I feel like this could develop into more.

Keep writing!

Thank you. And correction-the sender hasn't had a crush until now.

Hi. Here to review~

First off, this poem is actually so fricken relateable. I have a crush on this dude, and ofc I would never admit that out loud lol. And I always tell myself “pfft I do NOT have a crush on him-“ Tho that’s mostly bc he doesn’t know I exist 😬 In total, we have talked once 😄 I literally have 3 more quarters in school to talk to him so wish me luck

ANYWAYS. I don’t really have any critiques of this poem. Cuz if you changed anything I think the funny factor would be taken out. So yeah I like this poem, and it’s humor.

Anyways I gtg now! But overall loved dis poem 🤠

Hi!

This was a funny poem. It feels like the narrator wasn't really thinking through what they'd say in this letter to their crush, which is true to real life.
This was extremely enjoyable. It makes for a short and wonderful poem.Also the thoughts that are on the page are great! Keep it up!

i really liked the way this has been written, a poem kind of letter.

it's the perfect example of where we're all been at some point in life.

The use of the word perfect it's like you don't want to even plant that seed of hope but they way you're feeling you just need to, it's a heart over brain matter!

if this was written about a real person, you should send it! take the leap!

Keep up the good work!

No, this wasn't written about a real person. Those days are over for me.

Oh, and don't forget to hit that like button.

Hey! I like the concept of this work you've written! We probably all have to admit we've done this before. Lol :) It is us very relatable. One thing that I really like is how you've shown us the processes that often go on in our brains when we couldn't necessarily spell it out step by step when we are in such a situation. It's also well-written.

For constructive criticism, I'd say watch the places where you have a dash between words. I usually like to put a space, then the dash, then another space, just so it's not all scrunched together. Otherwise it looks like a hyphenated word.

Well, good job! Keep writing interesting stuff! :)

That means a lot to me. I was laughing aloud the whole time I was writing this. It just tickled my funny bone all over. I guess you could tell...not that I've never been in love like that of course, I just realized how silly it actually is, looking back from the perspective of an experienced, 19 year old.
