Dumb Smitten

Our long desired kiss

created a distance.

We were best friends.

What made it so

different?

Vaness…,

I’m a mess.

I miss…

The single thought of

what could have been.

It was so much more

than bliss!

Days out

Days in

We made it our business

to say, “I love you,”

when we both needed it.

I left you my heart at the

movie theater water fountain.

Do you remember it?

I hope that you never forget it.

I haven’t…

I feel a sadness for unrequited love but similarly a happiness for one to experience such a deep connection. Perhaps some would prefer never to go through moments like this but I feel one hasn't truly grown until they have yearned for another's heart and really felt what it means to be in love. Also your style of writing has a purity to it that I really enjoy, please don't stop writing! ...and I hope one day that the one the poem is about might either be united forever with this friend or better yet find one who can out do such a lovely memory, for that person would then be the best, far better than any friend.

You are so right, I read this quote last night, "Blessed are the hearts that can bend; they shall never be broken. -Albert Camus, but like you said... if the heart does't break... how can we learn and we can't learn... how will we ever grow to better oneself?
This is why I'm not afraid to leave myself so open because I'm ready to grow so much. I have always felt greatness inside of me, but I have always shunned it away as if I wasn't worthy enough. But truly, we are all worthy and have greatness inside of us.
For the one I wrote this for, Vanessa, we were tremendous best friends and we both nurtured it. It came to a point we realized, "hey, we take care of each other so well, why not go out on a date and give this a shot..." Some how we remained friends and as time went on we lost touch and got lost in the world, which lead me to ponder on what could of been...
Thank you so much Nadia! Your input always gets me thinking and going. I love when you speak you mind to me because it allows us to get more into dept and discuss more of what is written.

That is a beautiful quote, and I'm sorry to hear you were left to wonder what might have been. Still you were both brave to take the leap of faith and see where things might go, it always better and braver to try than not try at all. At least you never have to live with that regret. You are right there is a little golden star in all of us and I'm so happy to see you let yours shine, helps make the world a brighter place, and truly thats what I believe makes poets so important. So please never stop writing and I will do my best to continue our discussions so we can both grow from all the food of thought. Wish you well and many blessings!

I can't help to wonder se was and I hope to God that she still is a beautiful soul!
It was a leap of faith and I always carried a bundle of what ifs, so I promised myself never again.
I write till my death because it's the last bit of me that I have left to offer.
I look forward to our literary brunches...

Hi Sin. A moment of reflection?? Could feel the sadness in your words!!! A girl never forgets, and this is probably a moment she will treasure just as you do. Love this, Sin!!!

[sinNsincerity]

I would only hope so.
Thank you Nadia.

[Devious13]

well not only was it touching but it was very loving this vaness of which you speak was a lucky person I would say , but wat movie did you see just out of curiousity

[sinNsincerity]

Vanessa was her name and we went to watch Norbit with Eddie Murphy. It really didn't matter to us which movie we watched; although, it was quite funny and touching... It was just amazing for us two to finally go out on a date because before that night we were always occupied by other relationships and the timing was never right. After that night we decided to just remain best friends and nothing more...

The kiss does that
Your soul go into a nice knot
I love the way you put such a beautiful moment through
So simple
and so happy
Love it

[sinNsincerity]

Thank you Nisreenaa, I'm really glad you loved it!

[Confuser]

I liked it, it sweet and if it's true soooooo sorry, that's the game of love. I like the title too and maybe it's silly, but with the title I thought, you may say, something like until I find another that's where it will stay. Thanks, it's so very sweet - Dale

[sinNsincerity]

Very much a true story and there's many more to be told...
I'm glad you like the title. I was just going to name it smitten, but then I decided to add the dumb to it.
Thank you for reading Dale.

[Confuser]

You're welcome; loved the beginning too & T/Y...Dale

[Elisa]

[sinNsincerity]

Thank you for reading Elisa.
and I'm really glad that you could relate to this one.

[jeannemarie coulter]

I left you my heart at the

movie theater water fountain.

for me not by a water fountain...by the picket line on a trail ride i was when i was the wrangler...your poem brought back a teen memory...well done as i am an old lady now...lol

[sinNsincerity]

You're still a young lady =D
I'm so glad that it could take back to a time when you were a teenager!

[Crystal Overmeyer-Birmi..]

I love how the longing and yearning in this piece just seeps though the words and soaks the reading with emotions. I have always been in the habit of falling for my best guy friends ( which ultimately worked out) but there was a lot of damage left in the wake of a couple of late night truths and friendships ended. This poem brought me back to that bittersweet moments of truth and all that happened after.

GREAT JOB

[sinNsincerity]

Wow, that's really amazing Crystal! It truly is bittersweet though...
Thank you for reading!
