Still the Same Crush

The smell of chlorine on your dark skin
And I came that close to touching you.
You were a charmer as with one grin
I was on cloud nine. I wish that I knew
How I could decipher you, as you were
A complete mystery I could not unravel.
Nice one moment and nothing but a blur
In the next. Darling, I wish I could travel
Back in time and tell you how I felt, but
We were nothing more than teenagers.
I wish I could have just ignored and shut
You out, but you came back. The wagers
And bets are off as my feelings have still
Not changed when I am standing before
You as a strong woman now. Every thrill
Felt as a girl with hormones feels more
Intense now. I have done more than just
Feeling your skin or knowing the taste of
Your electrifying kisses. I know and trust
You will not set every butterfly or dove
Free because even if they do, they
Will come back like the patter of my
Heartbeat that does not go away.
You are that same crush and my sky.
