How strange
it is when
anyone
shows you
how valuable
you really
are.
I was 11
he was 14
we took classes
together and
he gave me
nothing but
affection.
He talked to me
every day,
we'd play
catch, and
he protected
me from the
bullies.
He then
gathered the
bravery to
ask me out
on a date,
but I wasn't
sure.
So he just
watched me
from afar,
his eyes longing
for me to
return his
love.
Danny
if you're reading
this poem
know that
deep down
I still like
you.
