My Poems

My Love

I looked at him from my seat.

He turned around. I looked away.

I didn't want him to know

I loved him.

He was my neighbor for years

but I never noticed

how much we had grown apart

since high school started.

I couldn't focus on anything

so I just shot glances at him.

Someone told me that he was taken.

That broke my heart.

I should've told him how I felt

when we hung out.

I'm such a lovesick puppy

who does anything

Just to see if he would like me.

A simple girl like me would

never get a guy like him

not that I ever could.

I did everything I could

to try and talk to him

but nothing ever worked

so I just stayed away.

Now I look at him with a girl

hanging on his arm like she's some

superstar just wanting attention

but all she really is no-good scum.

My heart breaks just looking

at them all lovey-dovey

while I sit alone. I shouldn't

have let the chance slip by.

He's got everything

a girl could ask for.

A lovable smile

a sense of humor.

I look at them with envy

wishing that was me

but I can't go back in time

to change what I should've done.

Now he looks at me

the way I did to him.

I catch him looking

but so does his girlfriend.

She scolds him for looking

but notices it's me.

She flips me off like I'm

one of his wannabes.

I've known him longer.

All my life, in fact.

I've loved him longer.

I never stopped.

He leaves his girl

to sit by me

a girl who's loved him for ages

but he'll never know.

He sees my eyes

they're threatening tears.

He wipes them away

likes he's done for years.

He says, "I've dumped that girl.

Will you be mine?"

My heart speeds like a racecar

totally out of time.

I answer, "Yeah.

But what about her.

She's not going to like it

when you're mine, not hers."

He laughed like it was funny

but it really wasn't.

I tried to tell him that

it couldn't have been smart.

He tells me otherwise

I play along.

What he doesn't know is

I've envied them all year long.

He's finally mine

and no one else's.

I've waited for years

to hear, "I love you."
