We are both autistic, and we are both rather shy (she seems sheer than me). I'm 16 and she is 15.

Section one:

Are these signs?

So once my crush (15F) grabbed my (16M) hand for no reason. Another time she held my hand for balance. She also once said she loved me before departing, and she is consistently kinder to me than to others. I should probably mention that we are both autistic.

Section two:

my poem

Much talent in art,

sympathetic to creatures

of so many sorts—

she's a wonderful maiden

who overwhelms me

with emotions of all kinds.

To a rare diamond,

thousand-fold is this woman

in her loveliness

and in her dearness to me.

It's miraculous

that she has blessed me so much

by granting friendship,

but in my mind's privacy

I pain for much more

than a mere platonic bond;

I pain for kisses and love.
