Soft, Romantic, and Honest Words to Express What You Feel

Having a crush is a quiet kind of chaos. You notice small things. A smile. A habit. A moment that stays longer than it should.

You want to say something. But you also do not want to say too much.

That is where the right words help.

This collection of quotes for the crush is meant for real moments. Text messages you rewrite three times. Captions you almost post. Feelings you keep close for now.

Use them as they are. Or let them inspire your own words.
