I already know...

Romance can be funny....

Well, it's been long

Too long, I'd say

But...no worries

We still have today

We both have waited

Much too long

You never read my poem

I never heard your song

Starting off as friends

That was a good way

But there was something else too

That 'something' I'll tell you today

Remember when you first saw me laughing

I was laughing at you

Now, I simply smile

There's nothing more that I can do

Now we both reminisce

We're remembering our past

Ah! Those beautiful days

*sigh* They didn't last

 

I kinda freaked out

To know that you cared

But now I feel the same way

Oh! Please don't stare

 

I've hidden my feelings

I was embarassed and shy

But life's much too short for all this

I won't let these moments pass by

Come a bit closer

I can't shout it out loud

I want to keep it a secret

I don't want to gather a crowd

I couldn've gone without saying this

But it'd be too much to take

I can handle your refusal

Nothing much is at stake

So, if you'll now, just hold my hand

And close your confused eyes

I'll blow the words into your ear

And suppress those embarassing cries

You seem so cute, so suddenly

I forget all my words

So much I wanted to tell

There was so much to be heard

You continue to wait

And I stare at the road

From which you came

Through which you'll go

I take in a deep breath

And stare at the setting Sun

I remind myself to tell you

that...'YOU'...'You are the one!'

I bend forward; close to your ear

But my mouth refuses to speak

And we stand in that awkward hug

Oh, gosh! It was so sweet!

I somehow gather up my courage

'It's time to end this show.'

You cut my line in mid-way

'Oh! You're so slow.'

I push myself away from you

Fully taken aback

With eyes as wide as grand canyon

And a violently shaking back

You take steps towards me

And stand ever so close

You hug me before my words reach your ears

And say, 'I already know...'

Author's Note

I'm not a romantic poet.lol... But last night I tried my luck and wrote this.I furiously jotted down all the thoughts that sprang into my mind coz' they kinda vanish very fast.
Anyway, this is my second 'romantic' poem.I've shoved ina few tit bits of humour and came up with the ennding. I especially like the lines
"You never read my poem/ I never heard your song"
You may guess that the guy is a musician.I know, it's pretty long. But I just didn't felt like cutting it short.I kinda like this piece...lol
WHAT"S HAPPENING TO ME!!! Me and my words!!...lol

Well done. You may not be a romantic poet but you sure don't show it
i loved those lines too.
i posted some more work of mine but i want to post more
I have aout a bok full but its midnight and I am to tired to stay up much longer
i hope you can review mine.
i wish i knew how to do a comedy peice but im not exactly super funny
I find myself being more serious than humorous
but everyone laughs at me when i finnally do come up with something funny
so it just takes a while
call me slow,
call me retarded
i laugh at myself in the mirror

Lovely, absolutely lovely. Driven by love and warm feelings of the heart. You really are a master poet at sixteen! I'm so envious!
I remember youthful love- you've captured it clearly here! A fantastic poem, you've definitely captured the romance genre here. And I adored your use of colour, it makes the piece stand out, vivid and bold, contrasting with feelings which are delicate and tender.
One piece of advice, you might want to split the poem up into stanzas. It makes it easier to read. But thank you so much for sharing this!

Well done! This piece shows clearly the fumbling youth in love, the shyness, the heart felt longing, the fear that never seems to go away.

If I read this right, your first verse tells of a new meeting between two people who were too shy to speak of their love when they were younger.

The last verse is great, binding the poem from the past to the present, remembering the feelings and as always, the youth is still shy and tongue tied so it is upto the girl to break the ice and say 'I already know"

A very special poem.

This poem is very beautiful. The flow is fantastic and it has great form.
I thank you very much for sharing this beautiful poem.

[Nely Amorim]

I think its gorgeous.. i can hear your excitement and love... I'm very happy for you that you feel this way. and never cut a poem short if it doesn't say everything you need it to say. It will end when it ends and be the better for it. :D lovely.

Wow! How absolutely beautiful! I loved the last lines the most:
"You hug me before my words reach your ears
And say, 'I already know...'"

*Sighs*

This is a true love poem, written from the heart, with a lot of nuances and subtle feeling woven in.
Congrats!

[Tara Jean Olson]

this is darling!
i could sware that a lot of people have experienced the same feelings (including myself)
but not everyone has the clarity to put those thoughts into words. good job!
