You know me,
I know you,
But not well enough.
You’ve got your friends,
And I have my own.
You’ve got your thing,
And I have my own.
We’re different,
In every way that matters,
And in every way,
That doesn’t matter at all.
I like you,
And as days pass,
It feels more like an addiction,
An unhealthy obsession.
I want to see you every day,
And I dream about us every night.
But it pains me,
That we’re not even friends…

I think everyone can definitely relate to this poem! I would personally suggest using more intricate phrases and descriptive words to convey the emotion. 

I liked the part where you said, "It feels more like an addiction, an unhealthy obsession." I think that describes a crush perfectly ;) haha

Well I thought this was kind of cute. I guess it's kind of hard to keep a crush without being friends first. :) But people do seem that way sometimes, and I love that I can really relate to this poem. Great job with this!
