● poem ○

Is it just me?

Ever since she told you about me

You seemed distant.

Is it just me?

Ever since you learned

You've been looking at me differently.

Perhaps I should have anticipated this coming

Of course I did, it was obvious.

But when it really happened I guess

That's what was hard to take.

I know you won't like me back

And right now, I think

I'm content being just a good friend.

But eventually it won't be enough

And I'll yearn to kiss you

To be able to feel your arms around me

Pulling me closer.

I'm not alone on the matter

There are others like me

With their own cacophonies.

And the truth of unrequited love

Although painful, is present

Everywhere.

And with these feelings

Come dreams

Dreams that make me want to hold you even closer

Closer than friendship would allow.

To place my face right next to yours

Such that even the scent of your hair

Entrances me.

To bury my face in your neck

And have you reciprocate the gesture.

To have you press me tight to you

Such that it seems you'll never let

Go.

I wonder daily if you ever do notice me

If you see me as more than a friend

But of course you don't.

Your eyes, your smile

They make me want to dance

For joy.

Because you, oh you

You are so beautiful

And I don't know if you see it, but I do.

Maybe one day

These feelings will pass

And I'll be glad to move on.

But right now it seems that time

Is far, far away

And I'm still waiting.

I see you everyday

Except for the weekends

And you're what keeps me going sometimes.

I am tired and weary

Emotions exhausted, body drained

But I think of you and it's enough.

I love you

But you won't ever feel the same

But that's alright.

I understand.

Hey all :))
So I hoped y'all liked this poem - even though it's really a very rough draft because I typed it out on the way home from choir practice - and please feel free to comment and tell me what you think! :)

Lots of love,
