Thoughts of a Juvenile

Daisies

I said the daisies were too dull,
and you didn't like them either.
You chose mountains over beaches,
when you liked neither.

You held me like no one did.
It felt like we were two stupid kids.
But now all of this sounds crazy,
because in fact you love the daisies.

Remember when the thunder roared?
You hid me in your sweatshirt.
I can still feel the warmth of that hug,
the smell, the lints, the comfort.

My hand in yours was like a key in a lock.
but you said we weren't meant to be.
Did i really unlock the love in you,
or were you just pretending to be?

I loved seeing you talk passionately,
about football and your games.
I cried in your arms when my dog died,
but soon you forgot his name.

Twelve days, five hours, ten minutes,
I spent, to choose a gift for you.
But all i got for my birthday was,
a keychain saying "happy birthday to you"

The day we met you told me I was pretty.
And you looked like everything I wanted.
One day you stopped looking in my eyes,
I realised I was taken for granted.

I spent nights watching you sleep.
You don't know what it meant to me.
When two stupid kids can't be adults,
it's better to let the other go free.
