It’s hard to breathe when I see A body that doesn’t belong to me It’s hard to rid water drops When I ponder when will it ever stop Cascading brown hair of mine Dreamed to cut it for a couple of dimes My lilted feminine voice Reminds me I am a girl with no choice Who is that in front of me? An imposter, a demon, could it be? My soul breaks into a weep Until, there stood somebody just like me Hair silky, smooth, white like snow His porcelain complexion barely glows Peach pouty and heart shaped lips Eyes are deep black caves, like a mystic maze Earbuds glued into his ears Face of dopiness or could it be fear? Slender, short legs carry him When he passes by I stupidly grin When will I see him again? Forget it, he’s likely graduating Dejection bounced in my mind Where I’m from, my kind of love was a crime Two and a half years passed by I’m in the big school and no longer shy Walked the great halls with belief Until, there stood somebody just like me He did change and so has I I cut my hair, but he’s got the same eyes Tousled rough black hair, shaved sides Much less heavy, which came by a surprise Our eyes locked like magnets Studied his lips, my gaze hard as granite His shoulder brushed against mine Stomach tingles and my heart intertwines Staring at him paralyzed I cannot look away, I don’t know why He looks like someone I know Someone I knew back a while ago Is it wrong if I pursue? Do you think it’s weird that I follow you? Hopeless like a winter tree Until, there stood somebody just like me Once it’s over I’ll feel blue When you graduate I won’t forget you Hope you’ll remember me too It’s nice to have someone to relate to

Someone Like Me
It’s hard to breathe when I see A body that doesn’t belong to me It’s hard to rid water drops When I ponder when will it ever stop Cascading brown hair of mine Dreamed to cut it for a couple of dimes My lilted feminine voice Reminds me I am a girl with no choice Who is that in front of me?

This is a poem I wrote for a guy in school who inspires me more than anyone ever could. Update: We're friends :)
