Short Poems

Unreciprocated Feelings

For just a second then, your hand touches mine,

I wish your feelings were the same as mine and you'd let our hands entwine,

My heart skips a beat and I quietly gasp,

Hoping you'd notice my feelings for you at last,

But of course, that didn't happen.

You turn away, and talk to your friend,

Causing my heart to ache to no end,

Though I'm disappointed, I know that I'll continue to try,

I can't just tell you 'cause I'm too shy,

Maybe some day you'll notice my feelings.

Then I think of the fact that you probably don't like me,

Though tears don't spill, I find it hard to see,

But I know I can't give up 'cause sometimes you have to fight,

You can't just let go of some things or they'll run out of sight,

Who knows, maybe you'll want to get to know me better.
