What I've Been Looking For.

What I've Been Looking For.

I've searched extensively, both high and low,
But haven't been able to find what I'm looking for.
I can't find that special someone,
Who would make me smile from ear to ear.
I've found only a few who come close to my expectations,
but have not been satisfied that anyone is perfect yet.

First I found someone who I had no doubt I'd love.
Instantly from the beginning, I fell too hard.
Making the situation even more perplexing.
Then I realized getting to know them would take time,
Meaning I would be going out of my way,
Which was definatly something I didn't think I could do.

Still today, I'm hanging on with all my strength,
Hoping that something will happen and all this time
that I spent doing nothing doesn't turn to waste.

Then, just recently,
I found someone with a charming personality,
With the sweetest words I could ever image,
Making my heart melt as I read them word for word.
Then, all of a sudden, it hit me all at once.
I knew there was distance between the two of us.
Knowing there was distance, friends was what we remained.

I'm young, and I have so many years awaiting me,
So, I'm just going to step back and wait and see.

I'm guessing this probably isn't my best. It rhymes in some places, where in others it doesn't. So if anyone could help me make it not rhyme.. that would be great! Any other suggestions are veryyyy welcome!

    Really liked the ending (as a lot of people seem to have done!) I think most girls can relate to this poem in one way or another, at least I know I can! And I think this ending really summed it all up very well.
    I dont think it matters that some of it rhymes and some of it doesn't, it makes it feel more like a continuous train of thought.

    I thought this was really interesting and very good. I thought it was really meaningful and even though the flow wasnt "normal" who cares? its your poem. Its ok if it rhymes in some parts and not tohers. that makes it different and more unique than a lot of other poems.

    5/5

    Woo, I FINALLY found a mistake!

    Knowning. You mean knowing. Last line in the second to last stanza. :)

    It rhymed? Lol, I think you're safe on the not rhyming part. Trust me.

    I liked it. I wished there was more metaphors and such to make it more poetic though. To me it just looks like you're telling what happened instead of doing so in a poetic way.

    Four out of five.

    Interesting poem. To be honest I believe you can do better. You showed your emotions but you cloud expressed them with more power, I want to say that on some places more poetic and unique ideas cloud exchange some obvious and cliche lines you wrote.
    Other than that sweet poem, it though isn't my taste too much.
