I don't want a crush right now.
It'll just put me in a bad spot.

I don't want to have to over think what I say.
I don't want to worry about what I wear,
At least not more than usual.

I don't want to read into every word he says.
I don't want to be as impressed with someone,
As I am with Kate.

He couldn't be a worse choice.
But I can feel a crush creeping up,
A prickle on the back of my neck,
A extra loud laugh at his jokes,
A sting of disappointment
when he talks to someone else.

He couldn't be more perfect.
An actor.
A singer.
A celebrity that doesn't act like one.
Smart,
Well read.
Nerdy.

How many guys
Will solve brain teasers with me?
Discuss Harry Potter with me?
Sing Les Miserables with me?

None.

But him.

I don't want to have a crush right now.
But I think I do.
Even if he wasn't so perfect,
I probably would.

For the kind of girl like me,
There's only one true requirement
To elicit those infamous butterflies.

How many guys
Would talk to me in public?
