He was like clockwork. Everyday he would pass her in the hallway at the same time, never a minute early or late. She came to value those few seconds when their worlds were in alignment. He had no idea how much she admired him. She never had the courage to greet him with a simple, "hi" so she settled for watching him from a far. His voice carried down the hallway in which she stood, his words were as sweet as honey. He could always put a smile on anybody's face. His laughter was a sweet symphony that penetrated her soul. His face was like artwork, perfectly sculpted by the gods themselves and his dark eyes were like a black hole that seemed to suck her in as he looked at her. She looked away knowing that he was looking right through her. She was a ghost roaming the halls, going unnoticed. She was perpetually haunted by what she couldn't tell as real or a figment of her imagination.

She stole a glance at him as he walked away and her heart was crushed into a million pieces knowing that what she felt for him would forever remain a one sided affair.

Author's note: Have you ever had a crush before? If so, have you ever confessed or kept it a secret? Would love to hear about crush experiences. I know I have had a few lol
