Poems

What now?

My heart says stay and fight

My head says move on

My friends say just be friends

My family says there are plenty of fish in the sea

But how can they speak for me

Without feeling my heart

Carrying my memories

Constantly thinking of you

Once I think you've slipped my mind at last

The universe punishes me

I replay the moment your hand fit into mine

When you hugged me in front of all your friends

Kissed me for the first time behind bookshelves

I pray to God and Aphrodite and Grandpa in heaven

Anyone who might hear me

I ask for a sign, anything

Telling me to hold on and keep hope

Do I trust that if it's meant to be, it'll happen on its own?

Or do I fight and be saved from regret

For all the things I could've said and done?

How can we be friends

If it's torture to be with you

But not truly with you

There may be plenty of fish in the sea

But you are the ocean to me

Falling for you destroyed my chances

Of ever falling for anyone else

Because there is only one of you

I'm stuck in the middle with you

In a war between head and heart

Love is a tsunami

And you must decide:

Will you run to safety?

Or will you challenge the impossible?
