Waiting

By Riverette

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

It started with your smile The love I had for you And when I looked into your eyes I thought you might love me too It grew with the scent Of your sweet cologne You made me feel Like I wasn't all alone I told you about it And scared you away I cursed myself for months For making you stray I tried to ignore it And call you a jerk But the feelings, they stayed The insults didn't work I kept it a secret When you found someone new We didn't talk to each other at all And I really missed you It started to go away When I found you wouldn't love me back I tried to figure out what it was What qualities I did lack Then, my love for you, it died The pain had finally come to an end And where I once saw my love I now see a best friend Now my love is up for grabs As I sit patiently Waiting for the one guy Who will love me for me Written March 1st, 2001 © on Jan 05 2002 04:25 PM PST    0 • 12
