yesterday you smiled at me.

i cheesed back gratefully.

i don’t think you care about the gap between my teeth.

yours are perfect (though  one is chipped underneath.)

                i don’t know how you do it Venus’s tortured Cupid

                sending Goosebumps to my mind and making these fairytale butterflies multiply.

you’re never the first person I see when i enter a room (but you’re always the first i look for)

i walk by with a friend laughing

obnoxiously loud just to get your attention

                i don’t even  say hi so i come back by

                and our two second eye contact fills me with seductive tension.

                do you feel it too? No. i don’t think you do.

                We’ll always be good friends. And I’ll always want

More. But i can’t scare you away

Again so I’ll just stay a friend.

Really your presence is all i need I’ve

Quit on relationships for the time being. (I liked talking yesterday. like it was just

Us in the world and not some public place) I told you a few

Secrets and I think you know another, but you still look at me the same; you don’t run for cover.

you take away my fears with that sweet soft voice

your eyes are like fierce protection evading all that

 white noise.

I want to be the one for you but I think I’ll have to pass

and the secret that you think  you know isn’t the worse one that I have.

But as yesterday turns into last Friday and last Friday turns into last month

Yesterday will always be my today because I have a fairy tale dream

with you in it and

You are more than my ‘Twas Once.

I dedicate this to someone special in my life. If you're reading this look for your name. you know who you are. I just want to say thank you for giving me hope and listening to me. you're a ball of sunshine bursting my grey clouds of rain. and I know we're friends but as i told you before i can't help how i feel and an amazing person like you deserves to know what a positive difference you are. just do me a favor and if you read this don't act weird in school ok?

the way you work your words together is great! and the emotion in it is strong.  From the heart is always best, and I think you were trying to put it to the test.  this is Brilliantly wonderful, and I would like to read your stuff all day.  Thank you for putting your work out, and for taking your time to write it.

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.

This is very sweet. I love it. Your poem has so much emotion and you in it. All in all, it's beautiful and wonderful! Thank you for sharing this! Haha, as I said before, I love it. Thank you again!
