A crush, though defined as just a fickle liking of someone, is much more. It can be a full throttle passion for someone, an all around obsession. The definition of a crush cannot nearly be defined as a fantasy of dating a certain someone, but also can be defined in the finest detail. Details such as the fact that just a smile can light up your whole entire night or that because he loves the color red, you tend to wear red over any other color. Things such as "accidentally" bumping into him in the hallway on your way to math class.
A crush is not looking at his face and nearly passing out, but just looking at something like the back of his head and feeling just the same. A crush brings you through many mesmerizing fantasies, but not only that, through many real adventures. When you have a crush on someone, you make those fantasies as realistic as they can possibly get. If you are dreaming of holding his hand, a crush will bring you on the perilous quest to just touch that hand of his, for whatever reason may be tattooed into your head at the moment. .
A crush is something that can also make you miserable. But that must be why they call it a crush, because you go through all of this dreaming, hoping, wishing, praying, go through everything to be turned down in the end. "He never even noticed me; it was like I was never there! I've followed him around at lunch, my fantasy at the moment having been walking side by side with him through the cafeteria, while everyone watched us, and knew we were together. Obviously everyone watched, but that was because they were trying to figure out what a loser like me was doing following Mr. Popularity." Quoted from Britney Spears when asked to describe her definition of a crush. A crush, though, is not only this amazing, uplifting feeling, that could send you flying through the clouds. But a crush is another feeling, as well, that in the end takes over, and instead of sending you flying happily through the clouds, it drops you down to a level of depression, and continues to bring you down, until you are completely crushed.
