The First Time I Saw You

FIRST CRUSH AND NOT BEING NOTICED!

 

 

 

The first time I saw you

my heart melted,

my knees went weak.

I couldn't breath.

I couldn't speak.

All I could do was stare.

 

The first time I saw you

you headed in my direction.

I began to sweat,

until you walked on by

to your special someone.

I realized

The first time I saw you

you didn't see me.

'The First Time I Saw You'
KATHY SUE SILLS,
This was reminiscent of how a young man or women might feel upon noticing a love interest. I remember those days when we teenagers were nervous and not necessarily confidant in ourselves socially. The times of imagining how it would be just to get a smile or a conversation with that special someone seemed so exciting. How often though as your poem says in the end, 'you didn't see me.'
I liked your poem.
Blessings,
Kathy

So sweet and full of lovely emotions. You laid eyes on your beloved , you shared your deep stirrings. Awesome.

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

Thank you!

[Sami Khalil]

You are welcome.

[William Michael Reeves]

Short and sweet. Hope you saw them again? Or just a fleeting memory of fantasy? I guess it sets up as the beginning of a relationship. I like it when a poem makes me wonder....

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

Thank you!

Want to sigh
As the memories
Of high school
Float by.

Seeing her
In the arms
Of him.

As my heart crushed
Into a thousand pieces
That lunch period.

Wondering
If I will ever
Have someone special.

Your welcome, Kathy.

Aww... sometimes, we all get caged around the leaf of infatuation so, sometimes, across the arms of having "Crush" ... but with time, and with age ... wisdom brings us what`s best for our heart. Nice imagery!

Thank you for the review! This poem is when I first started writing poetry, I wasn't that good, and I hope I've gotten better!

[Wórdsmíth]

Yeah .. it`s quiet good. Well, I just leafed through your pages and reached out to the first past (when you`d started posting from first) so, yeah ..many of poetry`s of yous seemed quiet fascinating to read with time cos, in your poetry ..i`ve found one thing common that`s "love"... which makes your pieces more stronger to get read, and of course, to drink the flavor of your kind emotions in disguise of your stuffs. Yeah.. you`ve gotten better even you`re already better. Always believe in yourself and then see.. how the life kisses up your fluffy feet. All the best!

The irony of the last few lines was a nice touch!

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

I have experienced this too much in life, but it is nice to read it from someone elses point of view. It made me laugh in a good way.
