We met against all odds,
Through mutual friends of ours,
We weren't really close at first,
So I watched you from afar.
We never got along,
We argued all the time,
I hate the way we argued,
I'd rather just call you mine.
Then I found out about you,
You were the same as me,
We had more in common,
Than either of us could see.
We became close friends,
Half of our group of four,
We did almost everything together,
But we both wanted more.
Then you e-mailed me one day,
Asking how I felt,
And I had to be honest,
I said, "With you I melt."
And then it went from there,
We were attached at the hips,
But not at school, oh no,
At school it was behind sealed lips.
We know what they would have said,
If they knew about the two of us,
We knew how they'd react,
They'd make such a fuss.
I had my first kiss with you,
It was the most perfect thing,
And it made me realize,
Our love was not a fling.
The months passed on in secrecy,
There was no soul we told,
We didn't need their support,
We had each other to hold.
Then we were ripped apart,
It wasn't meant to be,
In a note you said goodbye,
And in tears you left me.
I deserved it though,
Cause I made a mistake,
I got high and cheated,
But still my heart you take.
There went half a year,
Half a year of bliss,
And lying in my bed at night,
It's still you I miss.
I'm with a new guy now,
And I love him very much,
But please don't get me wrong,
I still yearn for your touch.
You're with a new girl now,
And I'm jealous of her,
But I want you to be happy,
I just don't want you hurt.
I know you still care,
As you've told me before,
And I still care for you,
But we can't go on anymore.
You were my everything,
The light to brighten my day,
You're still the girl of my dreams,
You're perfect in every way.
(Ok folks. This is a touchy subject for me. This poem is about a girl named Monica. Yes a girl. Please no comments degrading bi/les/gay people. I don't want to spill our lives, so I'll just say this. I wish I still had her.)
