You Awoke Me

My Poem is a depiction of the first time I acknowledged and acted on my attraction towards another women.

You awoke me.

I didn’t mean for it to be you.

You didn’t mean for it to be you.

But you awoke me.

Finally, all my seventh grade emotions came through.

The ones I shoved back so far.

It was slow realization.

I stared at you until I became uncomfortable.

In a millisecond I was questioning everything,

But I knew I needed to talk to you.

It felt right talking to you.

Smiling at you.

Flirting with you.

You awoke me.

Unknowingly through your blushing

Not realizing your effect

But you awoke me.

You will never realize your effect.

You will never know how I held my breath.

You will never know what thoughts ran through my mind.

You will never know how beautiful you were to me.

The look of flustered embarrassed curiosity caught in your eyes.

 the blush on your cheeks bridging over your nose.

your smile and willing giggle.

You will never know how much that moment meant to me.

Because you never called.

I enjoyed reading your poem. You express it in such a way that can invoke emotions from both perspectives i think. Putting myself into the part that did the awakening, i felt the emotions as if you were speaking to me... and i felt the part very well.. so nice work!

I'm glad I was able to relay the feelings that were going on with that experience, it was such an emotional time, one of the things I made sure to take time with was the emotional aspect of it. Thank you so much for your feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I am glad you could also feel it.

A beautiful emotion captured on paper perfectly. The who's and why's unimportant, the memory of the moment, the awakening reads the same no matter what the language. From the birth of that moment, until it's oft felt end, you capture the emotion, beauty and wonder perfectly. Thank you for sharing.

Well the only spelling mistake I spotted was, spelled. Should be spelt. Like the twist in your poem at the end. The poor lad is probably still regretting not phoning.
