Feelings for Josh
From the thrill of a new crush to the sweetness of stolen glances, this poem is a mix of excitement and nerves. Somewhere between fantasy and reality, it all turns into a quiet heartbreak.
Do you feel that?
It’s a fresh start after my confidence was tested, a return to the grind, and now I’m back in the game.
Do you feel that?
It's the thrill of seeing someone who makes my heart race. I don't know them yet, but I crave them.
Do you feel that?
It's my heart racing at first glimpse of a new crush.
Do you feel that?
It’s the warmth of your gaze, the subtle acknowledgement whenever you’re near.
Do you feel that?
It’s discovering more about you with each conversation, the daily unfolding of who you are.
Do you feel that?
It's the rush of your embrace, the thrill of holding and touching you.
Do you feel that?
It's my heart breaking as I gulp down my feelings like dry swallowing a pill, knowing you might have someone else.
Do you feel that?
It's the uncertainty of my reality and my place in your life being a friend or something more.
Do you feel that?
It’s the joy of spending the day with you, ending with a kiss on my neck, the sweetest ending.
Do you feel that?
It’s the anxiety before dinner and drinks, followed by the comfort of walking home with my arms in yours.
Do you feel that?
It’s being in your bed, our bodies tangled, like origami folded together in close embrace.
Do you feel that?
It’s the bed shifting, my heart racing as I sense you pleasuring yourself, even when you think I don’t know.
Do you feel that?
It’s the shared breath of smoke, the high of the moment, almost kissing as our lips touch.
Do you feel that?
It’s your hand holding mine, pulling me close, unwilling to let me go.
Do you feel that?
It’s the moment I realise this is all a fantasy, a dream from my desires.
Do you feel that?
It’s driving away, here heavy, as I let go of the us that never was.
