A Collection of Poems for the Hopeless Romantic

11 Years Ago.....

11 years ago, I fell in love.

I was only turning 16 then but it felt so real and it felt so right.

11 years ago, I was so happy for a day.

So happy that I could still feel it right now!

11 years ago, exact date as now, I couldn't sleep.

I kept on thinking of him, savoring the moment we had that day.

11 years ago, in this very same room, I wished that hopefully it will be him and me.

A wish that has never been granted up to this day.

A wish that's only in my mind and in my heart that God doesn't hear.

Because in reality, until now, I only long.

I only hope.

And I only wish.

I often ask myself, "Would that only be my first and last time to fall in love?"

"Won't I ever experience to love again?"

That's my "11 years ago".

And all through these years, it's only him.

All through these years...

Then they say that it pays to wait.

But, if I've waited this long, can God give justice to my "11 years ago"?
