Bottled Up

All the things
I want to tell you,
They have to stay inside.
I know that if
I start to speak that
I am going to cry.

I have to keep these
Feelings for you
All bottled up.
Two no's is
Enough.

I wish that I
Could kiss you.
But I know that
I'll regret it.
I love you so,
But I may as well
Forget it.

I remember
Sitting in your car.
All I could see was you.
In that same damn car,
You broke my heart in two.

You say I'm too young.
Your ideal girl isn't me.
Am I too good of a friend?
Why can't you just see?

I love you
With all my heart.
I'm feeling this way
For the first time.
I think I'm trying
Too hard for
This thing to rhyme.

My feelings are
Finally pouring out.
It probably won't be
The last.
Tomorrow I'll just
Be hiding again
Behind that fake mask.

And maybe we'll hang out
For a while.
And no, these feelings
Will probably never go away,
But maybe I'll love
Someone else too someday.

They'll probably hear
About you and think,
"It's their loss."
But I know for sure
Our paths will always cross.

So, for now
I am hurting
And I'll keep this
Bottled up inside.
And maybe tomorrow
Or the next day
I won't feel the need to cry.

Now this crazily
Unintended poem is
Coming to a close.
And will I ever
Feel better?
Who knows?

For now I'll just
Be patient and see
What the future
Has in store.
It's quite a shame that waiting
Has to be such
A chore.

Just know
I'm only doing it
Because its worth
Possibly maybe
Waiting for you.
It's really true John,
I love you.

This was a really well written piece of writing. The angst and emotion was clear for all to see.
