What is the difference between loving someone and having a crush on them? Is it because of the element of secrecy? Is love the point where feelings start to clearly show? Here’s a different perspective, a somewhat follow-up to Dahami Kawya’s poem “Secret Crush” (published on the 15th of July, 2020), “Because…”
It doesn’t matter –
What kind of hair you have,
No matter how rich or poor you dress,
I like which you like
My eyes look for your smile
My ears are for you anytime,
Not for your voice –
But for taking all your sadness into me
No need to grab your hands;
You already touched my heart
I can find you anywhere
I can hear your voice every single second –
And I feel special in every single moment with you
There is no need to stare at you –
Because you are always with me
I am not saying to believe me
I am not asking to keep your word
Don’t appear in my dreams!
As you are my reality, not a dream,
I just want your happiness –
Whether you are mine or not.
She has a “Secret Crush” on you,
But I have not –
Cause love is love, and not just a crush.
