High School Crush and Snogging

This is a high school love poem.

From behind the window shade,

I watched her and a schoolboy snogging

I stared at them with eyes of jealousy

My mind was full of wishful thoughts

It pained my heart to see her with him

 

She was the girl in fifth form that I fancied

The crush lasted for the whole semester

How I wanted to go steady with her

I envied the boy who stole her heart

And I’d have given anything for her love

 

I knew that I couldn’t compete for her love

She didn’t gravitate towards me

Because I wasn’t the popular type

The teenagers painted me a silly nerd

They said there was no way I could charm her

 

Olea was hanging out with the wrong crowd

She went out of her way to be in the clique

I could see that she wasn’t being herself

Her boyfriend was hitting on other girls

She had to put on an act to hide her pain

 

The teacher warned me to stay away from her

She said, “That girl isn’t good for you”

But my heart just wouldn’t listen

Everything she did seemed so perfect

Her beauty was all I could see

 

She refused to go out with me,

Yet she wanted me to do things for her

She made fun of me in the library,

Whispered to her friends and pointed at me,

Passed notes about me to other students,

And they all laughed at me

 

She was playing me for a fool,

But I didn’t care because I loved her

I continued to speak to her lovingly

I felt that there was a chance to win her love,

For life was full of possibilities

 

I dated the cute prefect in my class

Tiffany was somewhat shy,

But everything else about her was OK

We snogged on the corridor,

Ran after each other on the sidewalk,

I followed her home from school,

And we went to the movies together

 

She knew that I had a crush on another girl,

“I’ll make you forget that teaser”

That’s what she said to me,

But I felt that I’d never forget her

And it turns out that I was right

Today I still think about my high school crush
