Deep Love Poems for Crush
- When I see you
In my face, I go red
When you look at me
I can’t even take a step ahead
When I hear your voice
I begin to soar and fly
When you hug me
I see only fuzzy with my eyes
You seem to really have
Some power over me
Or maybe it’s just that
I think you’re a hottie - Your voice makes me shiver
Your laugh makes me glow
Being around you is magic
But you don’t even know
My heart beats for you
In a rhythm so true
I wish I could tell you
How much I adore you - My true-love hath my heart and I have his,
By just exchange one for the other given:
I hold his dear, and mine he cannot miss;
There never was a bargain better driven.
His heart in me keeps me and him in one;
My heart in him his thoughts and senses guides:
He loves my heart, for once it was his own;
I cherish his because in me it bides.
His heart his wound received from my sight;
My heart was wounded with his wounded heart;
For as from me on him his hurt did light,
So still, methought, in me his hurt did smart:
Both equal hurt, in this change sought our bliss,
My true love hath my heart and I have his.
— Sir Philip Sidney - My head is spinning,
My heart is racing
Should I tell you, do I say?
Whenever I see you, my thoughts begin to stray
You’re more to me than you know
I just hope that my love for you will show. - My feelings trap words in my heart
I rehearse confessions I’ll never impart
Longing to share this secret within
But unsure if you feel the magic begin - Your smile makes me smile,
Your laugh makes me laugh,
Your eyes are enchanting,
You make my thoughts seem daft. - My thoughts spin around you,
As stars circle a midnight sky.
Your kindness pulls me closer,
Like gravity I can’t defy.
In each quiet moment, I realize,
A gentle force points me your way.
I find calm in that revelation,
And hope you sense it, too, someday. - I am slightly overwhelmed
A bit nervous and jittery
I am acting very cautious
I’m filled with anxiety
My heart has compelled me
To do something I’m about to
Which is to confess that
I have a crush on you - When I hear your laugh, I’m transported,
To a place where worry fades.
Echoes of admiration bloom,
In corners where caution once stayed.
It’s a quiet longing that grows,
Day by day, moment by moment.
Each time I see you, I’m reminded,
Of the feelings I can’t hold in. - Every time we are near each other
I feel a hummingbird in my chest
moving rapidly
I know we are very good friends
And I don’t want to ruin anything
This my heart out on a silver platter
I have a crush on you - I wonder if my heart’s illusions,
Might one day find your gaze.
The gentle hush of honest dreams,
Whispers a vow I can’t erase.
Though I tread uncertain ground,
In each step, I find new thrill.
If we ever collide in truth,
I’ll breathe in what’s precious, still. - Across a room or in passing glance,
You paint color through my day.
It’s more than a hint of interest—
A silent wish you might stay.
I hold these thoughts in secret,
Hoping they’ll shine in your view.
Though time may stand between us,
My feelings stay tender, true.
Flirty Poems for Crush
- My heart’s desire who makes my heart bloom
With your wit and style, you make me swoon
How I so wish that you were mine
And we could share laughter and wine
Together we’d make such a great tune - I’m not sure if you’ve heard or noticed lately
This may not be new news
But I sort of like you
I like it when you laugh, and you scrunch up your nose
I like when you sleep, how you wiggle your toes
I like your eyes, they seem always to sparkle
I like your lips too
I like listening to you talk
I just like being around you
You’re warm and kind
And you make my heart smile
I hope that you’ll stick around for a really long while - I look into your eyes, I see a dream from before.
A dream of a boy with eyes of cornflower blue and hair as yellow as the sun.
Your smile lights up my world, your laugh is the music of my heart.
You make me laugh like a funny home video.
But my dream turns to nightmare, one of guilt and shame
As I suddenly remember the deafening truth from before. Just to let you know before you go,
I like you. I like you a lot. - I think about you in the morning
Hoping that you, find me charming
I think about you in the afternoon
Hoping that I, can meet you soon
I think about you in the evening
Hoping that I, can see you smiling
I think about you in the middle of the night
Hoping that you, understand my plight
I just can’t stop thinking about you
I just hope one day, you think of me, too - OH, unhappy stars! your fate I mourn,
Ye by whom the sea-toss’d sailor’s lighted,
Who with radiant beams the heav’ns adorn,
But by gods and men are unrequited:
For ye love not,–ne’er have learnt to love!
Ceaselessly in endless dance ye move,
In the spacious sky your charms displaying,
What far travels ye have hasten’d through,
Since, within my loved one’s arms delaying,
I’ve forgotten you and midnight too!
―Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - And in Life’s noisiest hour,
There whispers still the ceaseless Love of Thee,
The heart’s Self-solace and soliloquy.
You mould my Hopes, you fashion me within ;
And to the leading Love-throb in the Heart
Thro’ all my Being, thro’ my pulse’s beat ;
You lie in all my many Thoughts, like Light,
Like the fair light of Dawn, or summer Eve
On rippling Stream, or cloud-reflecting Lake.
And looking to the Heaven, that bends above you,
How oft! I bless the Lot that made me love
―Samuel Taylor Coleridge - A half-smile here, a friendly word there,
And I’m swept by a curious vibe.
It’s more than idle chatter—
There’s a spark I can’t describe.
Catch my wink, hold my gaze,
Let’s see how fun it can be.
You’re the sweetest thrill around,
And I’m itching for you to see. - Your touch, like a soothing balm,
Brings calm to my soul,
like a peaceful psalm,
Your love, like a symphony of joy,
Fills my heart, forever to enjoy. - I can’t resist a teasing grin,
When you pop into my mind.
Your confidence is so magnetic,
It draws me in each time.
A silly text, a well-placed joke,
I’d do anything to make you laugh.
You brighten my day effortlessly,
Like a sudden photograph. - I wish I could remember that first day,
First hour, first moment of your meeting me,
If bright or dim the season, it might be
Summer or Winter for aught I can say;
So unrecorded did it slip away,
So blind was I to see and to foresee,
So dull to mark the budding of my tree
That would not blossom yet for many a May.
If only I could recollect it, such
A day of days! I let it come and go
As traceless as a thaw of bygone snow;
It seemed to mean so little, meant so much;
If only now I could recall that touch,
First touch of hand in hand – Did one but know!
— Christina Rossetti - Watching you walk through the door,
My heart picks up the pace.
Your voice feels like a summer day,
Warming up my space.
I can’t help dropping subtle clues,
Hoping you might catch on.
With that sunlit smile of yours,
My hesitations are quickly gone. - I almost stumble when you pass,
My cool composure undone.
There’s a thrill in being slightly clumsy,
If it sparks your amusement, even once.
I wonder if you find it cute,
That I keep leaning into fate.
Something about you makes me brave—
Maybe it’s time for that first date.
Secret Crush Poems
- I like the way you hold my hand
I like when you kiss my forehead
I like it when you smile
I like your passion
I like your laugh
I like your face looks when you’re concerned or upset
I like how much you care
I like your independence
I like your curiosity
Hell, I like your hair
I’m hard up for reasons
Not to like you
You’re my favorite place to be
There’s no other like you - Love is…
Love is feeling cold in the back of vans
Love is a fanclub with only two fans
Love is walking holding paint stained hands
Love is.
Love is fish and chips on winter nights
Love is blankets full of strange delights
Love is when you don’t put out the light
Love is
Love is the presents in Christmas shops
Love is when you’re feeling Top of the Pops
Love is what happens when the music stops
Love is
Love is white panties lying all forlorn
Love is pink nightdresses still slightly warm
Love is when you have to leave at dawn
Love is
Love is you and love is me
Love is prison and love is free
Love’s what’s there when you are away from me
Love is…
— Adrian Henri - From the moment I first saw your smile,
My world was filled with your light.
Your laughter dancing so sweet and free,
Chasing all shadows from my sight.
In your eyes, such kindness does shine,
Melting each defense I try.
Your gentle soul touches my hardened heart,
Making me believe dreams can fly.
No matter where this life may lead,
Through twists, turns, and circumstance
My heart will stay devoted to you,
Our spirits linked by love’s dance.
For you are the melody my heart sings,
The poem my soul needs to rhyme.
With you I learn, I grow, I thrive
Our bond woven through space and time.
If these words can convey even a little,
Of the joy you, my dear, instill
I can ask nothing more of this life,
Than your happiness, which I vow to fulfill. - Love comes quietly,
finally, drops
about me, on me,
in the old ways.
What did I know
thinking myself
able to go
alone all the way.
— Robert Creeley - What I like about you the most
Is the way you walk
The way you smile
When you begin to talk
What I admire about you a lot
Is the way you dress
Seeing the way you tuck your hair
Is a sight of pure happiness
There seems to be nothing
That I don’t like about you
Asking you out on a date
Had become long overdue - I scribble silent confessions,
On pages I’ll never show.
The quiet weight of longing,
Only I and the paper know.
In every word, I keep you close,
An echo I dare not speak.
Yet in the hush of nightly thoughts,
My dreams dance wildly free. - Roses are red
Violets are blue
Today’s headline in my brain reads
“I really like you”
It’s out there, it’s done
I just can’t mistake it
I tried really hard, but I can’t seem to fake it
So instead I’ll scream,
From rooftops and bridges
I like you so much I just have to admit it
I think of your face at all hours of the day
And really and truly
If I had it my way
You and I would run away forever together
Life would be simple and I’d feel light as a feather - Between each grin and casual talk,
Lies a gentle wish I hide.
My secret rests in the tiny gaps,
Of smiles I can’t confide.
Will the day ever dawn,
When all these feelings come to light?
Or will it remain an endless hush,
Tucked away from your sight? - I loved you long before we met, my dear,
A stirring in my soul foretold your coming,
And when your smiling eyes at last appeared,
I knew our destined bond had started blooming.
The world seemed drab and drained of life before,
But with your lively wit and humor dancing,
Hope was restored right down into my core,
With you all dull monotony enhancing.
How blessed I am to walk through life with you,
To share in dreaming, laughing, reflecting,
Adventuring in realms both old and new,
Our hands forever tightly intersecting.
My truest love, alone you have my heart,
Your joy and charm set my spirit apart. - Your laughter fills the hallway,
And I fade into the crowd.
Though my heart booms with a quiet chant,
My lips don’t speak aloud.
I prefer this gentle ache,
To risking a precious tie.
Yet sometimes I long for one chance,
To let these secrets fly. - To lose thee — sweeter than to gain
All other hearts I knew.
’Tis true the drought is destitute,
But then, I had the dew!
The Caspian has its realms of sand,
Its other realm of sea.
Without the sterile perquisite,
No Caspian could be.
— Emily Dickinson - I love how you wear your honesty,
Like a badge you won’t disguise.
It draws me closer, day by day,
Though I shield it with polite “hi’s.”
The world might see acquaintances,
A casual wave here and there.
But my heart holds a tender script,
A story I quietly share.
Short Love Poems for Crush
- And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!
— Lord Byron - I am yours as the summer air at evening is
Possessed by the scent of linden blossoms,
As the snowcap gleams with light
Lent it by the brimming moon.
Without you I’d be an unleafed tree
Blasted in a bleakness with no Spring.
Your love is the weather of my being.
What is an island without the sea?
— Daniel Hoffman - I don’t know if this is love
I don’t know if this is just an infatuation
I don’t know if this is emotional
I don’t know if this is just attraction
But what I do know, is that you are pretty
I also know that you are sweet
I find you beautiful and cute too
Thinking about you, makes my heart beat
I like you. - The moment that we met remains a treasure,
For when you smiled, my lonely heart found home,
Your laughter offered sweet and welcome pleasure,
No more in sadness left to roam.
Within your eyes, a kindred soul shone through,
Awakening parts of me long-dormant,
And I discovered in myself anew,
Affection once to fear so deterrent.
Each moment we have shared since that fine day,
With talking, joking, dreaming, in good fun,
Has only made my caring grow astray,
Eclipsing all others, you’re the one.
If you will let me, by your side I’ll stay,
My homeland of the heart, forever and a day. - some other place, some
other time not this one.
A voice in my place, an
echo of that only in yours.
Let me stumble into
not the confession but
the obsession I begin with
now. For you
—Robert Creeley - One look, a shift inside my chest,
A feeling I can’t quite name.
You spark new wonder in my day,
And I’m thrilled you came my way. - The sun shines brightly, I look at your face. I’m fighting the tears, trying to earn your grace;
You sing a song, a song that is dear, since the day that you sang it I knew I was gone.
I was wrong to let you go, yet kind to let you be happy.
I want you to know how I felt all along. I like you.
I’ve watched you’ve grown over so much time yet if I could do it again I would watch you grow again,
But I watch you grow at my side. I like you. - A quick hello, a thousand thoughts,
You light up something real.
If words could ever speak the truth,
You’d know exactly how I feel. - I feel your coolness next to my fingers.
Your roundness excites my thirst buds.
Oh my you need to be crushed.
Your sweetness will exude your love.
You were crushed for me.
Now I can enjoy a chilled glass of wine.
You gave your all just for me.
My thanks to the grapes. - Your smile sets my worries free,
Like wind through a sunny field.
In one heartbeat, I’m caught off guard,
By the glow you effortlessly wield. - My lips are full of kisses
they pucker and plump when you are near,
This pair isn’t happy until your lipstick we smear,
My lips are full of kisses
even now they move your way,
for the promise of heave is just a kiss away! - Standing close, I feel a shift,
A stir that calms my mind.
If there’s a sign you might feel it too,
I hope I find that sign in time.
Want to go beyond simply texting or posting your poem? Here are a few ideas:
- Handwritten Mini-Notes

- Audio Clip Recital
- Record a short audio or video of you reading the poem aloud. Hearing your voice adds an intimate touch that can resonate on a deeper level.
- Artistic Twist
- Design a digital graphic or a simple sketch to pair with your poem. Sharing your words alongside a creative image can leave a lasting impression.
- Secret Delivery
