**This may not be my best poem, but it was completely heartfelt and the best I could write at a very emotional point in my life. I guess I tried to show how it feels to be depressed about your first love and to feel great and relieved about a new one at the same time. I didn't know what category this should go in either, sorry.**
When people look at me,
they think I have everything in the world.
What they don't see
is how hard I work because I'm an ambitious girl.
When they talk to me I know
that they all think I've been blessed,
and that's true, thank you Lord,
but there's something they have missed.
Everything I want in life
completely revolves around love,
and that's something success
cannot get you, it's sent from above.
So I opened my heart
to love a nice guy.
It was forever before
he said 'good-bye.'
But it's done and it's over,
not much to regret.
I don't know him anymore,
like we never met.
So I closed up my heart
and built a big wall.
Never again would love
make me fall.
I grew up a little and I
made some new friends,
all the while knowing,
my heart needed to mend.
I had a few boyfriends,
but none that could last.
I guess that's what happens
when you take things too fast.
I let myself like you,
and we're giving it a chance,
because I want you, I need you,
you make my heart dance.
I hope our feelings stay
this way for a while.
There's nothing I wouldn't do
just to see you smile.
I know other girls want you,
but not like I do.
I will never hurt you,
and I will always be true.
I lie here, awake, and I
think about you and me,
and I remember what it's like
to be happy and free.
My breaths are much deeper
when I hear your name.
I want you to want me
and feel just the same.
So I sit back and wonder
if this could be true.
Am I just dreaming,
or could I have love again - with you?
