Crushes come, crushes go,
I do not want them, yet they show.
They make my heart beat fast,
And leave me tired at last.
In class I try to focus, try to stay,
But every glance pulls me away.
Whispers, smiles, secret notes,
All these feelings tie me in knots.
I laugh, I talk, I speak too much,
Yet crushes sneak in with gentle touch.
They make me blush, they make me weak,
They stir emotions I cannot speak.
I hate the way they twist my mind,
The silly thoughts I cannot unwind.
I want control, I want to be free,
Not tangled in a crush’s mystery.
Friends tease, teachers call,
I’m tired of it, I want to stall.
The endless games, the tiny fights,
The sleepless crush-filled nights.
And yet, amid this storm of heart,
There is a light that sets me apart.
God is the joy that lifts me high,
The steady hand when I want to cry.
He knows my struggles, He knows my pain,
He turns the losses into gain.
I may stumble, I may fall,
But in His love, I have it all.
So crushes fade, and chaos goes,
But God’s peace forever flows.
I’ll shout, I’ll laugh, I’ll talk, I sigh,
Yet in His arms, I’ll never cry alone.
I hate the crushes, I hate the stress,
The way they make my heart obsess.
But God reminds me day by day,
There’s one true love that will always stay.
So let the crushes come and flee,
I’ll find my joy where I am free.
Loud and sensitive, full of all,
With God beside me, I will not fall.
