I know I still love you because I do.
Because when you talk to me I still have that feeling that I might faint any minute soon.

I do because I still write poems about you.
I spend the night forming coherent words for the unlikely encounter tomorrow at school.

I know because I can still hear that thump thump thump whenever you come close,
and that erratic breathing coming out through my nose.

It's the way I can't concentrate during Algebra,
because instead of numbers and figures I think of You.

I know because I wouldn't be up this late.
Trust me, I still do.

I am what I am and you are what you are
but the sky is as pale as my face.

You speak what you want and I say what I feel
yet you choose to discard my heart.

I've set it out to the wild for the world to understand
that my heart is for you alone.

Yet you completely ignore it and it makes no sense
to have you near me once more.

Shattered into pieces, bit by bit,
you broke me like a promise.

Tomorrow we shall speak
   of old flames and callous dreams.

Tomorrow I shall be brave
   to face the neanderthals from the cave

Tomorrow we shall ponder
   on our feelings for each other

Today we shall be honest
   lest we should do the best

Must I be lonely without you
or shall I be happy to be free?
Can I handle the pain of the truth
or should I move on with pride and glee?

You took me to that greatest sea
I looked at you, you smiled at me
I started freezing you held me close
I don’t ever want to see you go

It started on a hot month of May
But ended on the last summer day
And as you crossed the block watching me
I moved towards the sycamore tree

“Hi” was the first word you said
I thought you’d say something else
It’s been a long time since then,
That we’d talk about ourselves

I bit my lip not knowing what to say
You moved towards me and asked slowly:
“Where were you these past few days?”
“I don’t know”, I sighed heavily

I hope that you really understand
It’s hard to love someone innocent
You were popular, good looking too
While I did nothing good to you

But I know you loved me like no one else did
You treat me like I wasn’t just any kid
I was afraid of what everybody thinks
That’s why I avoided you relentlessly

I’m sorry that was just a summer love
It could disappear and fly like a dove
It was fast paced and quick moving
But let’s just say it was life changing
