Love Poetry ✓

1.

The path she takes,
but he never looks her way.

She notices him but —
he pretends not to notice her stares.

The flicker of shock that flashes through their eyes, when their gazes meet.

He immediately turns away.
While she looks dreamily on...
waiting for the day.

She thinks he doesn't notice her.
But he does, he's noticed her all his life —
his fragile, innocent flower.

She knows they never seem to notice the girl in the back wearing sweaters and hiding her face.

Maybe one day —
Just maybe,
he'll notice how much she chased.

He strayed.
He had to stay away.
Because it was the only way.

Some how they couldn't run away any longer.
Fate met fate.
If only it wasn't this late.

His heart aches for reasons he can't explain.
There was always that flicker of pain,
honestly he drove her insane.

But with her,
it was different.

Day by day,
she opened a little more —
of the gate to his heart.

But maybe this love was —
ill-fated from the start.
