A Love StoryA Poem by Jeff MillerThis is the longest poem I think I've ever writtenA Love Story I saw you in my third period class My mind let out a gasp I saw your beautiful face My heart began to race You were finally alone And your desk looked as if it was a throne I felt the need to get closer To wrap my arms around you, as if they were shelter And to stare in your eyes Make you forget all the other guys But I thought you were still with him And that my chances would be less than slim So I tried to keep busy Distract myself and keep my heart from getting dizzy I tied my laces better so I wouldn’t fall But I couldn’t keep from staring at you when you walked down the hall You were my classmate But I knew in the back of my mind you were my soul mate It was hard to hide how much I wanted to be your guy I would lie in bed at night asking myself why? Why does she affect me like no one else? Why does just hearing her name or smelling her perfume accelerate my pulse? I tried to remain calm Try not to show you, you already had me in your palm Try to only be a friend But I knew that would lead to a dead end I found out you guys had broken apart That hurt my heart Yes, I was full of joy But it hurt to know he had caused you such pain, stupid little boy Your pain could never make me glad And he had no idea what he had I had been wanting to ask for your number It was barely September But I didn’t know you were dating again You controlled the words the seeped out of my pen But instead you found my number and contacted me first I was so happy we had conversed And now I could talk to you whenever To slowly let you know what I wanted forever I wanted to tell you so much How you had me in your clutch All it took was a touch to set my heart on fire You were my medicine that could never expire It was the beginning of October I had a dream during my slumber That I had bought a beautiful white-gold, diamond ring And my heart wanted to sing I woke up and things were not what they seemed The next night again I dreamed This time you had already said yes And you were in a stunning dress It was a warm November day, I wasn’t sure of the date And after we wed I whispered in your ear we would never separate But then I awoke And my heart broke My dreams were better than reality Real life almost seemed like a heart’s fatality I could not do this any more I had to tell you how it was only you I could adore The rest had disappeared That you were my wyrd I waited for you But I tried not to tell you how much I loved you But one day I confessed And told you how I wanted our lips pressed And you told me you were torn And I knew this was the moment for which I was born To prove I was a perfect match That it was you I needed to catch But a week later you threw it in my face Made it seem like I was so easy to replace I thought I died that night Tears welled up in my eyes, causing me to lose my sight I had to stop somewhere close You were the one I had chose I stayed there for a half hour I didn’t know you had this power To make me feel dead To make me feel like I was in my eternal bed That night I told another girl we could be together But that idea wasn’t very clever Because she wasn’t you No one could replace you But when I did that you started believing And started to realize your feelings And soon after you and him split It was a Sunday, when I was given a gift To try to mend your broken heart To be the missing part I left her for this task It didn’t matter what she asked I was yours And opportunity had opened up its door I told you everything I felt And played with the cards I had been dealt You were the queen of hearts This is how it had been from the start Attracted to you for reasons I did not know But this time I couldn’t let you go You had stolen a piece of me Back in 9th grade, when it had still been only you I could see That entire year I was drawn to you, but I was full of fear So instead I watched you from afar But you were the brightest star So I let no one know I cared As I saw you and stared It’s amazing how time has gone so fast But, enough of the distant past I had to keep telling you How very much I loved you I wrote so many poems You were the inspiration to all of them And slowly, but surely You began to fall for me You started to tell me you loved me back For so many reasons you couldn’t keep track But if you were to make a list Of the perfect guy, one no one thought could exist That I would match every detail And be the one to give you your fairy tale Then November the 28th arrived The day of my birth, but I was soon to be surprised Because two days later I would receive a gift greater Than any I had ever received One I could barely believe November the 30th you told me you ready to press start To our love game, you were ready for me to control your heart So I quickly came up with a plan To ask if you would let me be your man I set up three notes All three I had wrote These were the only trace Telling you to go to the next place Until, like a fairy fable, I led you to a park bench table With a rose and card upon it I walked up from behind while you opened it And asked if you loved me You told me yes, my heart jumped with glee I asked you how much? You replied so much I asked if it was enough for you to be mine I couldn’t believe how it was going to turn out this time You smiled and told me yes Soon after I told you I wanted foreve with you, nothing less We always spell it without an r Because r is the end of forever Romeo and Juliet are fictional But we ARE real Pocahontas and John Smith? You’re the one I am meant to be with Tristan and Isolde? Our love is more precious than gold So let our story go down with the greats Let there be no debates Our love will never have an end This is something most people cannot comprehend That life can be full of glory And you can make your own love story By Jeff Miller © 2010 Jeff MillerAuthor's Note
