| Happy Crush
I didn't plan to look for you,
but sure, now I do.
It's now a habit, it's rewarding,
that leads me straight to you.
It's the way you say a certain word,
the way your eyes light up,
or even that warm smile.
A quiet kind of sunshine,
in the middle of my darkest days.
I don't need a grand confession,
silent stares,
and hidden smiles,
or a promise meant to keep.
I'm just happy in the shallows,
I think I'll never dive deep.
It's enough to feel that flicker,
the sudden, silly grace,
of a Friday feeling better,
just because I saw your face.
To be the spark across the room,
the reason for the cheer,
is enough to make my silence bloom,
just because you're here.
And that's enough for me,
to cling unto.
