2. To my Crush
I want to make something concrete but I can’t fathom how to make you stop when you drift right by me. Did you know you drift right by me? When you arrived my place was sitting to the side but I managed to stare across at your cross stare. No sideways glances or second chances with you and so I chose every word out of the passion of my mind to finally express the things I always hide. I am angry at the world and you told me not to swear and now I just want to know how to hold back again. I feel so uncomfortably myself around you it’s makes me ill to think that you might be the greatest gift to ever grace this scenery because I have never been a recipient. I’ve worked hard for everything I get and, let me tell you, what I have could just cease to exist and be burned away in the fires of refinement, except my faith and works walked in, because those were written by some other Hand. Be like faith to me but not believed and unseen. Be like faith to me and I to you, a demonstration, an earthly clue, by which we unravel our heavenly home. Hence we are called.
