Crush (5/1/99)

It is a one-way love that rarely is public.
It is a fire inside that burns.
The maker of the fire does not know of its invention.
But the keeper keeps it alive as long as possible.

A fantasy that could never be real but in the keeper's dream.
A fire so strong, it burns well after the maker is gone.  
What makes it a crush is the ignorance of the maker and the bliss of the keeper.

And why doesn't the keeper tells the maker of this fire?  
The keeper is afraid the maker itself might extinguish this flame.
And so it burns even after the maker is gone.
