The little things

Love, Rosie.

A/N this poem is based off of the new film Love, Rosie and though I haven't seen it I'm basing this off the advert and personal experience from a similar situation!! But I really hope the movie doesn't end this way!!

When we first met it was love at first sight,

I knew right then I would put up a fight.

I wouldn't rest until you noticed me,

Even if I seemed a little crazy.

It took some time but then we talked,

You no longer need feel like you were being stalked.

We started as friends then added the word best,

You see we were different not like the rest.

We had this friendship without complications,

Until I had this revelation.

All boy/girl friendships can be hard,

When we know we're together in our hearts.

But then you succeeded in that scholarship,

You had to move but we kept our friendship.

We always called and video chatted,

'Tip all hours of the morning and we were knackered.

I met your new friends though you said they weren't me,

We always had a connection differently.

I met your girlfriend as we grew apart,

I was so happy you loved her with all your heart.

Then the next year you tell me you're getting married,

All the while our connection gets buried.

You don't realise my change or that I'm different,

You were so happy yet my mind was getting distant.

You said finding the right one was easy and you just know,

But what if the best thing that ever happened to me was right under my nose.

You were the right one all those years,

You've seen my smile you've seen my tears.

I can't help feeling the way I do,

It's just all my feelings are based on you.

You seemed to have noticed how my optimism is gone,

So you ask me what's up when you're alone.

She's not there with you that's a start,

But just because you're alone I won't pour out my heart.

We were best friends since day one,

But now all those precious feelings are gone.

Not from me but from you,

It seems that you've found somone new.

And in so happy that you've found the one,

But the future of me and you is gone.

I know how this ends I've seen it before,

Though we will try we won't talk for hours anymore.

She is your focus your number one priority,

While I'm over here standing alone as a minority.

And over the years we'll talk less and less,

And we'll become just friends no more best.

And slowly bit by bit we'll close that door,

Until we don't talk anymore.

You'll go from the person who'd be everywhere I'd go,

To the person once my friend someone I used to know.

You see I can't tell the future I can't see the rest,

But someone please tell me what happens next.
