I wrote about you secretly
Because you made me feel
And I’m a fool for romance
So long as it’s not real

Stole a glance at your breasts
I was thirteen again
Brown eyes
Butterflies
We never even held hands

Long dark strains of midnight
Pushed back in tan headband
I lost my mind thinking
I’d lose my fingers
To find you again

For the first time
In real life

You wore belly shirts
I’d be forced
To wear smiles

My d dropped to an f
The day the sun convinced you to wear a dress

And I’ve never shared my daydreams
Where we were sharing coffee
I told you I’d like to meet the angel
Who kissed you
Above your right eyebrow
And 1, 2, 3 times to the right of your lips

Compliment them
On their good taste

Sleep wasn’t any better
Cause you’d slip into my dreams
Ly on my bed
As the sun dripped in
Through window shades and bleeds…

All over you and me

You’d say
“We’ll go get some breakfast after we cuddle like kittens
For 15 minutes…
Ok?”

A soul to match that body
My heart got control of my brain one day
And I scribbled down
The part you’d played
Fate cast you as my muse

Sent words signed anonymous
In fear of misconstrued abuse

In conversation with mutual acquaintances
I heard you’d gotten a letter
From a stalker guy

Whoops
Knew I was right
Sorry if I scared you
But I couldn’t lie

I wrote about you secretly
Because you made me feel
And I’m a fool for romance
So long as it’s not real

    nice images..
    and words straight from the heart


    "Stole a glance at your breasts
    I was thirteen again
    Brown eyes
    Butterflies
    We never even held hands

    Long dark strains of midnight
    Pushed back in tan headband
    I lost my mind thinking
    I’d lose my fingers
    To find you again"


    AND I loved THIS PART

    "A soul to match that body
    My heart got control of my brain one day
    And I scribbled down
    The part you’d played
    Fate cast you as my muse

    could really identify with this part:

    I wrote about you secretly
    Because you made me feel

    I really like this poem. Well done, xmascleanlove.
    The title seems just perfect for this.

    it's a precarious situation when you find someone attractive yet don't have the courage to speak up...simply out of a fear that they'll reject you because it's in their nature and it's what you've become used to...so you never do...and then you find out it was a good thing you never did...it's like...a missed opportunity that you're glad you missed but you still wish would have turned out differently...

    that pretty much sums this one up...it's a true story...although i can't spell strands...strainds...strans...fuck!

    i'm glad you guys liked it...i was worried it was too cookie cutter lovey dovey type stuff...it sort of had to be...it's a tough tightrope to walk...but i appreciate all the ego stroking...hugs and kisses to you
