( A poem for my dear friend Bellis who has found another)

When we first met,
I knew you were the one,
but alas,
we were too young.

With cold clammy hands, and a blush on my face,
I ran to you with haste,
but it was too early,
and I knew I must wait.

I am ready now
and I know you are too.
I reach out,
but your hand has clasped another.

I am much too late,
for you have bloomed.
It is myself that I truly hate.
All because I decided to wait.
