I saw him sitting there one day,
a reading book in hand.
Reading on the damp park bench,
just watching him was grand.
I'll tell you, it was very strange
this feeling that I got.
It was like it was only me and him,
the world around me I forgot.
I hadn't seen him in while,
I wondered if he'd remember me.
I started walking closer,
more features I could see.
Dirty blond hair, still the same,
as were those ice-blue eyes.
He must have felt me staring,
he looked up in utter surprise.
Oh my gosh, is that really you?
He said to me.
How has everything been?
I returned the greeting and said,
Life's good
I didn't know where to begin.
We got to talking for many hours,
and when it came time to end,
He said,
would you please join me for dinner,
I'd like to see you again.
Flattered, I quickly accepted,
and we went on our way.
Things just grew and grew from there,
but one day it all went wrong.
I called as usual around noon,
but the landlord said he was gone.
Gone?
I said.
Where would he go? Please tell me, do you know?
She said
I'm sorry I have no idea,
he just said he had to go.
That broke my heart right then and there,
I cried for many days.
The guy I trusted, the guy I loved,
broke my heart in so many ways.
A few weeks did pass by,
I felt better, but I didn't forget.
I couldn't forget this pain he left,
the hurting in my chest.
Then all of a sudden, I realized something,
this I should have known.
Maybe I wasn't ready for this,
right now I'm better off alone.
Two more months passed by,
I once was happy again.
But then he showed up and talked to me,
anymore, I couldn't pretend.
I cried to him and told him how I felt,
how he ripped my life apart.
He stood there very quiet,
waiting for his turn to start.
He said,
I'm sorry alright, I was scared,
I didn't know what do.
I replied,
Scared of what, we were happy, and I truly loved you.
That's just it,
he said to me
I felt the same way too.
Your the most amazing person I've ever met, I couldn't imagine life without you.
I was scared of the feeling
he continued,
scared of the feeling inside.
Now I'm not scared anymore, without you,
I'm living a lie.
I realized I was ready now,
to take back this man.
I knew now I was ready,
he was my biggest fan.
I said,
OK, I do forgive you, but promise me one thing.
he said,
anything, name it now
I said
One day, when we're ready, I want you to be the one who gives me my ring.
Unfortunately, this poem is not true in any way, but I had an idea and I went with it.
