One Question

sometimes asking a simple question can seem very hard...

One Question

By- Adrija Gupta

I am confused.

With myself,

And the way I feel.

It’s just that I like you.

And I just want to ask,

Do you like me too?

Should I hold this feeling?

Or should I let you know?

My love to you, should I show?

I don’t tell you but,

I think about you all the time.

And I also know that,

It isn’t a crime.

You bring smile on my face,

When I am down.

Even though I irritate you,

You don’t seem to frown.

It’s hard to hold back,

This deep feeling of mine.

For you I feel.

And truly saying, it is real.

I long to just hear your voice.

And I flow along with what you say.

Wish I could embrace you,

With my true love ray.

But then how should I say,

What I feel for you?

My heart pounds when we talk,

Telling you the truth,

How am I supposed to do?

I don’t know but,

If my faint voice ever reaches you,

Just know that this is Love.

And it is very true.

But when shall I tell you?

Tomorrow? But then,

It never comes!

Not to lie, I am nervous.

My heart’s pounding fast.

Just to name some.

If I just smile at you,

Will you get what I feel for you?

Will you ever understand?

That I am in Love with you.

Here comes just one question,

I am in Love with you.

I just want to ask,

Do you Love me too?

just a simple question...but the words never came out of the mouth...

Definitely understandable. It's safe to say I can relate. You did a great job expressing the feelings of nervousness and love at the same time. I really liked it. One thing I didn't really like though, you started off not really rhyming at all and then kind of picked up as you went along. Was there a reason for this?

Immense theme of poem u've preferred

[J Todd Underhill]

Should have bothered to ask, I find it is always better to regret something you have done than something you haven't!

. ah, this is brutally beautiful ... that quintessential dilemma written about uniquely and intensely ... i haven't spoken to the guy i love since over a year ... but i'm publishing his poems ... the biggest lesson that i've learnt is that love is way above any other emotion ... and that expressing it ... is a big part of the freedom of expression ... and the expression brings with it a relief that silence never can ... good luck ...

i was shaky in the beginning...was nervous about the fact that i still will not have the answer of the question i was going to ask...
