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

its a story... and an great poem!

This is a little drawn out and long winded Siya, but I loved the humour and the serious sides to it. I personally don't like rhyming because it can so often stilt the flow of something wonderful. Try your hand at prose, you may find that your thoughts come to the page clearer. Having said all that, I loved it because you wrote it with such abandon and love in your gracious heart...thank you.
couldn've...should be...couldn't have...up to you how you want to express that though.
Cheers,
Helen :-)))

lol! nothing is happening to you or your words, its just keep getting better and more awesome, lovely love piece...should write a short story out of this or incoperate it into a short romamtic story...something mills and boon will love.
great pice of romantic lines.

It's absolutely brilliant. So simple to read, so easy to feel, but so colourful too. (I don't mean the colour of the writing, it could be B & W yet still read as colourful) It's not too long at all; every line has meaning to it, I enjoyed every one. Just a shame I can't rate it higher than 100.
It appears to be written about someone you know, so I hope they read and appreciate it as much as I do. Thankyou for asking me to review it, only sorry I didn't see it earlier.

Well, its a good thing you didn't cut it short!!
Your poem is wonderful...
I'm glad you told me to read it...after reading this, and the poem "A sweet feeling", I'm looking forward to reading more of your pieces!!
You should really consider writing a romance novel...
Your right..Love is a funny thing!

[Angel Bird]

Wow! This is so great!
Wow I love this - it has such energy and rhythm.
I think it was the muse that kissed you last night with a wonderful and warm loving kiss ...
You definitely did a great job! Kudos!
