On A Crush

What does it mean to have a crush? Why is it called that? Crush. It's not quite appetizing to the lips or harmonious to the ears. Crush. A five-letter word that can carry so much strength to the heart. Crush. It's a make or break deal. It's a not-crushed or crushed deal. But, who is the crusher? The one doing the crushing on or the one being crushed on? Crush. A one-syllable word with devastating consequences. Crush. Who you like but can't tell. Who you crave but can't reach for. Seemingly forbidden fruit.
One bite could kill you.
