In the realm of whispers and stolen glances,
Where emotions dance in clandestine trances,
Exists a secret deep and hidden,
A crush on my best friend, forbidden.

Cloaked in the cloak of friendship's guise,
I yearn for more, but my heart denies,
For fear of shattering our precious bond,
I bury these feelings, far beyond.

But oh, the way they flutter and soar,
These butterflies that I can't ignore,
When your laughter fills the air around,
My heart skips beats, a familiar sound.

We walk side by side, hand in hand,
Yet my fingers long to intertwine, expand,
To feel the warmth of your skin on...
