Falling Out of Love

Falling Out of Love

When I met you, I thought you were,
Already quite strange;
I stared as we were introduced,
And learned what was your name.

You said we had the same math class,
About a year ago;
I didn't even realize,
That you remembered so.

For three minutes into it,
I began to notice, too;
You became a new found friend,
As I was to you.

Two months later, guess what happened?
The classroom had changed seats;
I sat at the last table,
And you were next to me.

We talked, we laughed, we shared,
Such stories of our past;
I remember those sweet memories,
If only they could last.

We soon became close friends,
And I never had a clue,
I would fall for another one,
And sadly, it was you.

You always looked me in the eye,
And I met your gaze,
Except, last week, I stared at you,
Only to look away.

I remember how I missed you,
How I tried so hard to hide,
The feelings that I felt for you,
Deep down on the inside.

When you found out, I panicked,
My mind felt so scared,
I didn't see you as my friend,
And I wasn't always there.

I treated you like any guy,
Until two weeks ago.
I started waving, smiling, too;
For you'd already know.

If only I had done something,
That I wouldn't regret;
I lost someone so dear to me,
One of my favorite friends.

I'm sorry that I fell for you,
It's funny how it happens;
I want to have you here again,
The both of us still laughing.

What must I do to lose this pain,
Besides "I must get over"?
I'll do what it takes to have you here,
As my fears take cover.

Please take my back, not as some girl,
Take me back as your friend;
I'll make it right this time around,
And then my heart may mend.
