Thirty by Thirty Daily Challenge - DAY 5

June 5th, 2013

Prompt:  Crush

Infatuation

Once upon a time

Nineteen hundred sixty-two

My heart skipped a beat

When I first saw you

Sparkling and shining

As a bright summer star

My eyes caught your smile

From a distance afar

Attempting to speak

As nothing was said

Wishing to express

Thoughts in my head

As my knees wobbled

My hands dripped with sweat

I longed to know you better

Once we had met

As you flirted

Cautiously with me

Brief hints of attraction

I believed I could see

Delicately responding

Restricted by fear

Silenced by shyness

Whenever you were near

As time passed

Gone was the rush

Opportunity vanished

Along with my crush
