I wonder if you write poetry about me too
Since every poem I write seems to be about you

I wonder if my smile makes your day
If hearing my laugh makes you want to stay

I wonder if you light up when I walk in the room
If seeing my face makes your heart go boom

I wonder if your pulse speeds up when we hug
If you've fallen into this hole we've dug

I wonder if you want to take my hand
And forget everything else that you had planned

I wonder if you think about kissing me
If I'm who you want your first kiss to be

I wonder if you feel these same things I do
I wonder if you just might love me too
I tried a rhyming poem, so that's new. I threw in a Hamilton reference for good measure :)

If
If I told you all the things I wish I could
Would you look at me differently
If I told you all the things I wish I could
Would you look at me the way I look at you
I want to tell him I love him so badly. But that wouldn't be fair to him, so I write sad poems about it instead

We sit in a space
To experience the place
We once felt safe.

i begged him
to stay
behind the screen
in my dreams
in these pages
in my life
even if he was
never really mine

because if he stepped out
and i was able to hold his hand
i know i'd have to let go
but i don't know if i can
more often than not, it's safer when it's not reality, so let's at least stay this way, wjh.

Stay right beside me.
Stay till I fall asleep.
Once my eyes have given up,
on seeing the world for what it is
and failing each time.
When my hold on your fingers
loosens breath by breath.
When I finally fall asleep.
Let me dream of a love for us
that hurts little less.
Live the life that I dream of.
Even if I am not there.
It was a cold night of december
With a coffee in my hands
Ghosts of my past are hauting me

You were there
Comf'tably sitting and staring
Thy eyes intently looking in mine
With questions like how and why
Questions without answers
For only you can feed me with one.

You had feelings for me in highschool
Everyone knew how you felt
Everybody knew that I almost melt
Everyone knew...
But me.

If only I knew.
I'm not in his arms if only I knew.
I was a coward and so are you
We were terrified to spill the tea of truth
Hence, our feelings were torn and turned into ruth.

If...
If it ever happens.
Feeling like it never will.
If...
If this can help fill...
a gap deep down.
If...
If I can stop feeling bound.
If...
Will become a when.
When...
When it does
you will be free
When...
When makes an if
a possibility.

Maybe if we could
Actually be friends the end
Would not be so bad
But we will never be just friends.
