In another life...
RecklessChild Oct 2019
And you know I truly love you
Reckless child, that's what I am.
Nonetheless,you know my heart is real
Unrequited love that's what it seems
Loving you was worth the risks
Find me in another life
One day, when the time is right.

Please forgive me for feeling this way
And for dreaming that we could run away.
Just let me love you in my own way,
And then I will slowly fade away.
Radiant and irresistible that's what you are,
In my heart, you'll remain every tick of the hour.
Let me love you as long as the sun rises in the east,
Longing for your love as long as it sets to the west.
On the other side of this life, I wish that we will never be apart.
This poem is for a man I truly love but can never be mine.

Never Have I Ever
RecklessChild Oct 2019
Never have I ever dreamed to be the other,
that choice doesn't seem to be so clever.
Never have I ever fell head over heels for a person,
that feeling definitely runs out all sorts of reasons.

Never have I ever offered my heart and soul to anyone,
But I did because I know that for me you're the only one.
Never have I ever confessed my hearts desires,
But I still did because you're the reason I'm inspired.

Never have I ever wrote poems about love,
Now I did because you're the one I want to have.
Never have I ever hoped to be neglected and ignored,
Now I can't refuse because you are the human I adored.

Never have I ever loved someone like you,
It may sound improbable but it is true.
Never have I ever been as candid of what I feel,
It is indeed making it feel surreal.

A FORBIDDEN OFFER
RecklessChild Oct 2019
Yesterday a forbidden offer was made,
Her heart and soul were set to trade.
Her repressed desires are now expressed.
Will this forbidden offer bring her regrets?

She can't decipher what's in his mind.
Did he know that this love made her blind?
She longs for his love before he ever knew.
Little did he know that her love is true.

She swore to herself that she will never be this way.
A girl who steals someone else's happiness away.
But she was betrayed by her heart's own desire.
How do you stop loving that burns rapidly with fire?

The slightest touch of his hand can make her heart race,
She wonders for a hug and a kiss, what will be the case?
A part of this offer was sharing what they called love.
Is it called making love, if she's the only one who loves?

She is willing to take all the risks this offer will make.
Because deepest regrets are from paths we didn't take.
Needless to say, she will never force him to feel the same.
For she already knew that she's the only one to blame.

She told him that the offer is not valid forever,
And she was aware that the answer may be "never".
The faintest of hope that he will realize someday,
Maybe just right before her heart dies away.

What is love?
RecklessChild Oct 2019
Love is you walking slowly into the room,
Smiling gently as I glanced at you.
Love is when you listen to my jokes,
With that sarcastic "okay" from you.
Love is when I miss you all the time,
Even when you were just around.
Love is whenever time stood still,
When I watch you laugh out loud.
Love is when I don't  even care,
What other people might say.
Love is when I know you're not mine,
But still, you know I am yours.
Love is when I can't spell how I feel,
But it doesn't make it any less real.
Love is me trying to run away,
But then my heart decided to stay.
Love is when you told me to think,
But I got lost with your wink.
Love is when I know I'll never win,
But still, I betted "ALL-IN".
Love is when we accidentally touched,
And how I felt that spark charged.
Love is when you hold my hand tight,
Wishing I'll never forget that sight.
Love is doing all my very best,
Knowing I'll never Ace your test.
Love is dreaming wide awake,
For in my dreams I'm yours to take.
Love is you.
Love is your smile.
Love is your laugh.
Love is your constant "hmmm's"
Love is your name, that I can never give away.

— The End —
