Creative Poetry: I'm Loving Angels Instead

We've all had crushes we've not acted upon. We all have felt that small tinge of pain and shame when we can't approach the object of our affection, of when we didn't receive the attention of one we desired. This poem attempts to touch upon those feelings.

Ps. It seems I have the flair for the dramatic. Does this make me a romantic - in the literary sense?
