A Teenage Girl's First Crush
A teenage girl's first crush is . . . well, crushing.
Her body isn't hers, nor is her mind.
She finds herself shivering, shaking, blushing,
Weak, tormented, sick, and going blind.
And why? Because some guy might look her way,
Then cast his eyes as quickly to the ground;
Some special one, for reasons she can't say,
Whose voice makes her feel faint when he's around.
But now my crush on you has been returned,
And so the two of us stand on some brink:
It can't be love so young, and yet we've learned
Love does its will, no matter what we think.
Slowly, slowly now--we mustn't rush:
Let's enjoy this first sweet teenage crush.

Saying Goodbye
So soft
the brief touch of your lips
on my cheek.
Was I almost intruding?
"Look after yourself "
should have been
"I love you!"
Then the Jumbo flew over
my head
and I shouted my love
above the roar
and thundering thrust
. . . as if you'd hear.
Through the clouds in my eyes
I watched you fly away
and wished I'd been born with wings.
by Anthony West
I Don't Know...
I don't know how to tell you
I don't know if you care
I want to say I like you
But I don't even dare
It's true you may not like me
But I can't help the way I feel
I don't know why I feel this way
But I know this feeling is real
You don't know how hard it is
To see you but cannot to care
There's nothing else that I can do
But just to secretly stare
Sometimes I just want to cry
And wash this feeling away
If only it were that easy
I wouldn't be feeling this today...
