Crush...?

Do I like him, or not?

When I talk about him, I blush and smile

When I talk to him, it feels like friendship

We have some playful, lighthearted conversation

I don't try to act like someone I'm not

I don't act cool, or try to show off

I just sit back, and let him greet me first

Now I wonder, does he like me?

He says he doesn't, but boys hide their feelings

Now I ponder, do I like him?

He starts a chat

But I text him

Unlike others, he knows I exist

Keeps teasing me, patting me on the head

Friend?

Crush?

Friend?

CRUSH?

These feelings are so confusing

I'll wait and see

What fate plans for me

Put me on the right path

Because I can't do this by myself.

Hi, Cats! Purple here to do some reviewing, and hoping we can help improve eachother’s work, haha. Alright, so this feels like a very relatable poem about crushes, and boy, have I been there, lol. First, I notice you said that you wrote this in a library, and I think that’s a nice detail. This definitely feels like just a raw product of some thoughts and emotions that boiled over, onto a page, you know? It just has that genuine touch. Also, I like how you’re able to describe the conflicting feelings here, and how one minute you think it’s a crush, but the next, it’s just friendship. Especially when you’re young and in school, it’s so easy to get confused in that way, and it can be not only frustrating, but sometimes just a total drain. In contrast, the positive turn toward the end, just waiting and seeing, and trusting in fate, was a nice way to close this off, and to turn this relatable description, into a little message or lesson for others going through it. A way to tell them, “hey, give it time, trust in fate, things can work themselves out”. That’s just how I read it, anyway, I wouldn’t be shocked if I’m off.

If I had to give this poem a score, I’d say a solid 8/10. Just a very nice, very real capture of some slice of life struggles. Very nice! 👍

Hello, I know how to feels to not know if what you are feeling is a crush forming, or if you are simply just having platonic feelings. It is very hard to decide what to do so you put your path in the hands of faith. Some recommendations I have for your writing is a little more punctuation. It is a little confusing on how to read it since there are a lot of commas and no periods. So it can be difficult to tell where the sentence is supposed to end, you also probably don;t need so many commas. Another suggestion that could help is the formatting. Instead of breaking the words up so much you can do it only every so often. Other than all of that I like your writing. Keep it up!

Thanks so much for your review, and amazing feedback, and I'm glad you enjoyed!
