Crush

You are the only one
Who talks to me
Without the reasons
That we are close friends
Or that there is no one
Else to talk to.

You share my views
And my interests.
Your intellect excels,
And you share my love
Of knowledge, and possess a depth
Beyond that of our peers.

Your wit and friendliness
Intrigues my outer solemnity.
It makes me want you
To lift the mask I wear
That hides similar humor,
But also a darkness from the world.

As I listen to the patter of the rain,
I lie in the darkness,
Wondering if you think of me.
And if you do,
What you do think of me.
Do you love me, as I love you?
