One Day

by Courtney Knirk   Feb 2, 2005


I want to walk by you for just one day and for once actually catch your eye.
I want to be able to get into bed just one night without the following tear and that depressing sigh.

I want all the dreams to stop being fantasies and to become real.
I want to be brave for one day, walk up, and tell you exactly how I feel.

In my eyes you have no flaws you’re so prefect, so beautiful, so fine.
Why do I have to lie to myself and say that one day you might actually be mine?

I wish that you’d tell me how you want me to act about this love for you.
I can’t just move on and act as if I never felt anything, its something I just can’t do.

I’ve tried to get past the feelings and look at other guys but you’re the only one in my sight.
I know that I can’t have you but this feeling makes me feel so willing and it feels so right.

How can something make me feel so happy and at the same time make me cry?
I don’t know why I give you all these poems, nothing’s going to come from them, why even try.

I’m lost in thoughts and tears because I know we’ll never be.
There only one question the haunts me everyday, why can’t you feel like this about me?

You probably think I’m crazy or something because I don’t really know you all that much.
But I know enough to know that I really love you and I really need you, you’re my whole life, my crutch.

It’s funny how I say that I need you even though I’ve never even gotten close enough to smell your scent.
If you could see it through my eyes you would feel the pain that I go through and know that thinking of you is the only way my time is spent.

You have no idea how afraid I am of telling you and getting hurt again; I really am scared.
One day I wish that you would call me your own, one day I wish you actually cared.

But you don’t care because you don’t even notice me or the signs that I throw your way.
How do you not notice someone that looks at you with a different look in their eyes, that’s also in the same room as you, every single day?

I think you know who I am but I also don’t know if that’s a bad thing or good.
If you told me you knew who I was, I would be really tense around you but I would be a little bit more open, if I could.

I really wonder if you see the smile that you put on my face
When we’re sitting next to each other and you say something funny, I wonder if you see my cheeks go pink at their own little pace.

One more time I want you to know that I love you and you’re the best thing that has ever happened to me,
And it might not be today, might not be tomorrow, but one day I will tell you even if a bad reaction, anguish, and a little crying is the fee.,
