My Hopeless Crush
By Mika McKinnon
I have a hopeless crush,
His name? Like I'm telling,
When I see him I go on and on
My brain turns to mush.
While I stutter and splutter,
Everyone laughs and I turn red,
but he just smiles and tells me to go on
His smile…Lily! Get your head out of the gutter.
I bite my lip and nod my head,
softly asking him to the dance,
The laughter stops and I look away
'Sure, I'd love to' Man, who thought I'd have a chance?
