awkward mush

a gnawing suspicion, of being in love-
could it be so? my blood circulation improves
each time we meet. you spring my mood
into cheerier days. and i munch my food
with mucho gusto. bravo! a flower
will i pluck, to tempt you as a lover
tempts his beloved; an independent rush
of happiness, joy; the face is flush
with gladness apparent - otherwise known as a blush.
