The Story of Us

Through tears and pain
I write you this
a poem of truth
to the person I miss

The day we met
our lives were changed
nothing would ever
be the same

we clicked so well
it was meant to be
I knew we were special
this, I could see

something about you
intrigued my mind
I wanted to learn,
seek, know, and find

hours and hours
were spent on the phone
w/ you by my side
I was never alone

You drew me pictures
each I would keep
I began to learn
I was in too deep

I never felt
this feeling before
about you each day
I learned more and More

the day we kissed
I will remember always
it was freshmen year
after Southwest Relays

I went to your house
to watch Peter Pan
we sat for a while
just holding hands

we laid down for sometime
then wrestled to the floor
we stared at each other
both wanting More

it was 10 o'clock
when we finally kissed
it's amazing what you remember
about the things you miss

from that day on
you were by my side
my companion, friend,
boyfriend, and guide

There was no looking back
even if I tried
I fell for you
and started to cry

I was scared of you
and what we had
knowing things
could turn out bad

the summer we spent
was special and fun
the feelings I had
are replaced by no one

you loved seeing me
I know this is true
I wanted to spend
every moment w/ you

you liked my face,
my ears, and eyes
you thought I was beautiful
on the inside

school started again
and things were fine
I was your girl
and you were mine

sometimes I worried
about your friends
that didn't matter
hurt feelings would mend

I remember my birthday
only cuz of you
you got me the turtle
we saw at the zoo

that was special
and thoughtful too
that's when I knew
I was in love w/ you

that very next day
you went with me
to have Thanksgiving
w/ my family

I was glad to bring you
and show you off
just being w/ you
was always enough

A few weeks later
a change began
I knew what was happening
and away I ran

I felt you leaving
and growing away
I tried to latch on
not knowing what to say

I put up with this
as long as I could
My heart was breaking
as it should

why you were leaving
I do not know
I don't know what happened
but I felt so low

It took everything i had
to sit you down
and give you away
to be left on the ground

I knew you loved me
and were scared too
your tears showed me that
your emotions were true

what we had was so special
and a rarity for sure
nothing but young love
could ever be so pure

we're no longer together
I miss you so much
It's too hard to feel
the lack of your touch

the protector of my fears
gave up the fight
he left me empty
he left me to cry

I don't know how
you can put me in your past
you seemed to give up
and never look back

everything we had
doesn't seem to matter
w/ each day that passes
I grow sadder and sadder

I miss the person you were
the person I no longer see
I know you were happy
when you were w/ me

I guess you are really
over me
I guess you are gone
Well, that's what I see

I don't think you understand
completely what we had
I don't think you know
how this makes me mad

I see you with her
and I know you don't see
everything in her
that you saw in me

I know you want to learn
what makes you happy
but because of you
I feel so crappy

I miss what we had
and what we shared
I miss the time
when you actually cared

I know you still think about me
and if you made a mistake
I want you to know,
with you, I was never fake

If you read this
and don't feel a thing
I guess to you
I mean nothing

But I know you still care
cuz you are reading this
I know at times
by you I am missed

I want to talk to you
one last time
I promise this is almost over
I'm tired of talking in rhyme

Call me tonight
if you still care
a talk is what
we need to share

this poem is long
and may not be good
it kind of blows
like i knew it would

I just need you
to tell me what's up
I don't care if I cry
because now, things suck

* this poem was long and not very well written. Definately not my best work. But it was written w/ the passion of a pen late at night.
