Unordinary

Unordinary

 

She’s unlike anyone

You’ve ever met

She’s picture perfect

And she attracts you

More than anyone right now

 

She has a great personality

She’s everything you’d hope for

She knows all the right things

To say

She makes you smile

Without even trying

And you just can’t

Quite put your finger on it

But she makes you happy

 

Your spirit lifts

Whenever you talk to her

And you can’t help cracking jokes

Wanting to make her smile

Too

 

You don’t know

If things will progress

If this friendship

Will turn to more

 

You encourage her relationship

With others

When somewhere deep down

You want her for yourself

You want to be the only one

On her list

But you don’t know

How to tell her

 

She’s not like anyone you’ve ever met

She’s not like the other girls

She’s stronger

She’s funnier

She’s prettier

She’s more confident

She understands you

She’s a mystery to you

The more you discover

The more you sink deeper

And you’re scared

You deny it

You lie to yourself

You lie to her

And you play matchmaker

For her

And yourself

 

What you want

And what you need

Is right in front of you

Stretch your arms and grab her

Because you will never

Meet anyone

Like her

I agree completely. Even if you're rejected, at least you know. You can lick your wounds and stop wondering. I've felt like this a time or two and it sucks being so close and yet so far at the same time. Lovely poem, one of my favorites from you Kels. :)

Yayyy =D thank you Avy

[That_Girl]

Most welcome, Doll! :)

An interesting shopping list of attractions - and a lesson in making your feelings felt... How often we miss the opportunity and then regret it...

I like the good description in the poem. Some people can look like saints. But are like us. Need friendship and laughter. I like the desire and the purpose of your poem. A very strong ending to a excellent poem.

good poem destinyx

[James William Dyer]

So true. When that little voice speaks to me, though, it must be a devil on my shoulder, I'm subconsciously attracted to BrOkeN pEopLe. I liked the rhythm you posed here, it's relentless, as it would be to the one feeling those things.

It's so phenomenal! Experiences, emotions and thoughts quite similar for different genders! A smart and witty write, I'm poor on such topics :P

[That_Guy]

Been there!!!!!!!!! Man....


!!!!!!!!!!!

That being said....

Very relatable and it pains a good picture. Well done Kels ;) haha

This was my favorite comment. Somehow you turned multiple ! into words.

Have you noticed that a good proportion of the guys have pointed out how strongly they relate to this? Tack my name onto the list...then read on :P

I always seem to be late getting to your stuff and therefore have little to contribute to the technicalities as they've usually already been discussed lol There's one line that really pounced on me though, and it's the last line of the first stanza..."right now" suggests infatuation more than being genuinely in love...there's nothing wrong with that, of course, but I just felt the need to mention it, seeing as it is arguably the most influential line in the poem, with regards to the person it's being addressed to, how they're truly feeling, and how you want the reader to feel. But like I said, this is mere food for thought :)

There's little else for me to add except to say I agree with the person who pointed out your ability to capture emotions so vividly...not only that, but you can do it from the point-of-view of both genders, whether you mean to or not...that's not an easy task...I know cuz I'm as good as blind in terms of seeing through feminine eyes :P You are a true poetess...that is all :)
