Him

This is just for me. A piece about someone who I can't get out of my head.

I'm sitting on the floor

Waiting for him to come by.

When he does, my heart leaps

Even though I can't say anything to him.

It feels as though my lips are shut,

And my brain is broken.

Words to tell him my feelings have not yet been invented,

So I am forced to come up with phrases instead.

But these phrases are too long to say,

And can only be thought. 

I hope one day he will be able

To read my mind.

Only then will he know,

That my heart beats only for him.

 

I watch him walk in the hall,

Slouching forward.

His arms don't swing,

Just like me.

His eyes search for someone he knows.

He passes me,

Gives me a glance,

And I wish on and infinite amount of shooting stars

That he will stop and say hi.

But, this dream will never come true.

As he will never know these wishes I've made.

 

I watch him walk away,

Seeing his ocean eyes in my mind.

Someday I want to be holding his hand,

Hugging.

Kissing.

Dancing together in the moonlight.

I want him to see my true beauty,

That not many have seen.

I don't think I've shown it to anybody really,

And he should be the one to bring it out.

I want him to whisper to me in the halls,

And ask him if I'm okay if I'm feeling sad.

 

If this should happen,

I want to feel his skin.

To know that I have him

All to myself.

 

Truthfully, I know this won't happen.

All I can hope for

Is that it'll happen at least once.

Maybe not today,

Maybe not tomorrow,

But someday.

Someday it will.

A strong self sensing poem, my motto is all you gotta do is jump! If you never jump, you'll never learn to fly?
