Stars Don't Grant Wishes ~ Poetry Book

54

To begin with,
I don't even know if you're fond of poetry.
Or is it in one of the things that you like.
Funny because your name is on the list of mine.
I don't even know if it sounds right
that I feel this way.
And there's an impossible thought I felt that maybe you also feel the same.
Stop right now and think of any names–

How is it even possible that you thought of my name?
And if you did think of my name without knowing who sent this,
then I'll take that as one of my greatest achievement
that the whole world can't know-
only the two of us.
Because with you, there are feelings that I can't show,
and neither do you so we should just probably go.

At least one of us has the courage to speak.
I may not know you well, but I know you don't have that strength to confront.

Yes, they say "you should take things slow".
But maybe this is one of those times where people just come and go.
And some were meant to take one piece of your heart.

And keep it forever like keys that shouldn't open doors nor any parts

Know that in your own ways, you swept me off my feet.
To the point that I'm thinking of you and can't sleep.
And there was one less lonely person in the corner of the room.
When our eyes lock, I wish time won't resume.
Damn, it's not healthy for me to assume.

This is just so dumb to think that I even get the courage to start writing this.
And it's embarassing for me to confess like people do in the olden days.
But it is in these ways that will make
your heart beat,
your breath hitch,
your toes curl,
your eyes sparkle,
your cheeks burn,
your lips smile
and your soul feel alive.
Correct me if I'm wrong if I didn't get one right.

But don't worry, I will stay out of the light,
with the shadows as my friends.
I will be one of those people who exists in thoughts and silence.
I will be the whisper of the winds and the cry of the rain.
It's sad that we can't be more and it's just going to be pain.
Pretend that I didn't exist and you'll continue pursuing your day.
And when you close your eyes at night-
imagine what we could be if our worlds can just unite.

If you feel useless and not worth a thing,
know you made a person's day without doing anything.
I will keep admiring you until I don't.

I will keep admiring you until I don't.
And hopefully this won't fire back at me when you finally figured out.
Please don't be smart enough to look for answers.
But if you did find out, let's keep the friendship and just be cool.
Let's be educated people who act like a fool.
Friends- that's the least we could be.
And I don't want to lose the one thing that we have.
And it's because of this letter I made this morning around nine and a half.

Sending this to you is a risk that I honestly didn't think through.
But this is me being me.
Acknowledging my feelings and ignoring the results.
It's either bad or good but I am at least true to myself.
A fact that not everyone can admit to themselves.

I know you're troubled of who might this be.
But stop your curiosity and don't even bother.
And I will teach my heart that it shouldn't flutter.
