You asked me on a call, if I have a crush on you?,
the question was so sudden, I was afraid you could hear my heartbeat screaming that it's so true.
"I don't know, maybe", I pretended, but only if you knew that does nothing that comes to my mind when your photo is shown,
and I could spend hours just looking at it and thinking maybe you could be someone I can just call my very own.
You went on by asking, if I want to go out sometimes, I tried casually saying yes as if they aren't lists that I have made of places you love to visit, your favorite cafes, your favorite food and a photo of what I would wear when I would go out with you.
You took me by surprise when you mentioned my favorite cafe. Am I imagining it? Cause it's too good to be true.
You further added that you already booked a table, surrounded by mountains and a lake by the side and sitting in front will be a very beautiful view.
It would be hard to miss as blood rushes forth with a fervent grace, it speaks without voice and only with color that lays fair,
yes I am a blushing mess right now and what all I would do for him to just confess
My phone suddenly lit up with permission to switch to a video call, goosebumps all over my body, I took a deep breath in and pressed accept,
he appeared on my screen with a boyish grin and diary in his hand,
looking up he asked me if I would love to have a blue cheesecake,
and I realized, I was not the only one with all the lists made and kept.
