I have a girlfriend.....
Wow
It’s really true!
She’d liked me for a long time
And I never reciprocated
But then one day,
Out of the blue.....
I needed her to be mine.
So I waited for a bit
To make sure my feelings were true
And one day....
I asked her.
It was awkward, and silly, but beautiful and perfect.
We smiled and hugged and talked about how we couldn’t believe the other was our girlfriend
She makes me so happy.
I’m so happy
My life is perfect!
But nothing is ever perfect......
Sorry for that little twist at the end, but I couldn’t let it go unsaid.

Broken pieces
Broken hearts
Demolished homes
Intangible scars

A non-essential necessity
Ripped away from you by a friend
She means well, but it hurts deep inside
I don’t know how it will end

Laughter and life
Are but a whisper of the past
The girl you wish to hold
And secrets of clouded glass

The life you used to know
Now a far gone dream
You must adjust, but you can’t let go
Alone, it’s a challenge to swim upstream
The title doesn’t make sense until you read the last line.

Inspired by the book “Ivy Aberdeen’s Letter To The World” by Ashley Herring Blake.

I want to sit close to you

like she does

I want to put my arm around you

like she does

I want to whisper I love you
In your ear when you’re hurting

like she does

But the thing is...
I don’t love you.
I like you
There’s a difference.
I just hope one day that I do, and you will reciprocate.







I’m sorry I can’t stop thinking about you I just want you to think about me too and I really should just give it up I know I’m trying but it’s so hard it’s so hard it’s so hard I want you and all of you but you’ll never want any piece of me.


I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry


IM SORRY

I like you.
But I’ll get over it soon.
I sit with you at lunch every day,
Which may make this hard,
But I need to get over you.
Nothing is ever going to happen
Between us
So I should start realizing
That I need to find someone new.
It’s just so hard
Because no matter how much I tell myself,
That I’ll never have you,
I can’t stop myself from fantasizing,
About if you were mine
And I were yours.

You’re cute.
I know it.
But I don’t know if you know it.
My friend told you that you’re cute
Last week at the party
And I laughed
But I wish it were me
That you knew
Thought you were cute.
Because I really like you.
But nothing will ever happen.
A multitude of things set us apart
Our age
My awkwardness
And her
I wish I could have you but I can’t.
I’m sorry.
I like this guy but he has a girlfriend and I’m too awkward to start a conversation with him. My friend and his friend are dating and we sit with him every day at lunch but I barely say a word.

I don’t know,
If I’m hard to read,
Or an open book.
My friends tell me I’m a really bad liar,
But I can lie easily to people I don’t know.
So to the people I don’t know,
I guess I’m a mystery.
But only a few decide they actually want
To figure me out.
