Crushed

So there you are,
Teasing and enticing
a hot pink square
by a circle of green

my first crush in delhi

my first crush at 22
you make me go all dizzy
like most crushes do.

i see you everyday
in red bricks and hearts
through smoky distances
but you seem galaxies apart :(

i feel all elizabethan
writing love poems for you
when halfway across the city
you have no fucking clue

but the first thing i noticed
on the first day i met you
was that your eyes were like storms
and that's the best i can do

for storms drive me crazy
with their madness and their calm,
and if that's just what your eyes did,
i can't even imagine... damn.

we haven't talked much
i believe i'm too shy,
but somehow, for some reason,
i don't want to try.

this seems it,
though unfinished and cruel,
but without any distance,
there'd be no pull

so stay away from me,
so i can love you from afar
but maybe sometime,
we can go out for dinner?
