Having a suffocating childhood crush.
Discussion
I felt infatuated this year which hadn’t happened in far too long a time. It was lovely. But a suffocating crush doesn’t sound appealing.
At the time it was torture, but in the presence of time I reminisce fondly on the intensity of those feelings. A fire that burns hot, usually burns for a shorter period of time comparatively in my experience, I prefer the steady heat of a love like slow burning hardwood over a deep bed of embers. Infatuation can settle into such of course, and it is always fun.
I like that. “I prefer the steady heat of a love like slow burning hardwood over a deep bed of embers.”
