Was I truly that blind for the feeling they had for each other?

Was I truly that blind?

Was it just my point of view that didn’t catch the questionable site?

Was it a figment of my imagination?

Was I truly that in love to think I was the only one?

Did I portray my whole relationship as this happy ever after, and beyond that, it was more complicated to my existing eyes?

To those existing eyes, it wasn’t us; we never crossed their minds; we were never existence.
I hope you like my first poem on hellopoetry.

We're but two drunks laughing in the rain. Memphis is a city like any other.
The rain falls and slinks into the potholes. Whatever secrets that are hidden surface and shine with every drop that falls.

What's the fun of staying dry? The rain mixed with the sweat of our skin.
When you kiss me, I feel the beads of rain fall harder, my heart a puddle that catches every drop, caught in wet embrace. We may be drunk, me more so than you. Even if lightning slices through the clouds, and the rain begins to come down even harder.

What's the fun of staying dry? Every street leads somewhere, even if the sky tears itself open and the world becomes a blur. I am a drunk fool, laughing outside in the rain with you

I  am a ball falling into
A corner pocket.
Hit and sent flying.
The clatter of hopes and dreams
Knocked into each other.
I tumble into darkness
A world I've never known.
Unsure of where I am going.
But I roll.
Sent spinning across a velvet tongue.
I feel the rush.
Direct from the cue stick.
Pushed by the cue ball.
A crisp crack and I am sent flying.
Seamlessly waiting in line
Not knowing what number I am.
A shot aimed into netted lips.
As I tumble and swirl.
It turns out it's not so dark
In here after all.
Love is a game, and here I am.
Waiting to be placed back
Into the rack

I love a lot of things
The raindrops on my face
The dirt in my hands
The smell of grass in morning
You
NO!

I love the color blue
The way the stars look
That necklace on you
WHAT?

never mind
I love hang outs
And tasty food
I would really like to go out with you
WAIT

I suppose I’ll tell you
That of all the things I love
I always think of you

She makes me insane
She’s in my brain
She takes my pain
All else is inane

I need her like air
I love her hair
I could not bear
I was despair

The Gods gave her back
Finally, I can relax
After that brutal attack
After he stabbed me in the back

I've got another chance
We get one more dance
I think that perchance
Aphrodite's lance

Has pierced me like the Nazarene
From deeds so obscene
Where light can beam
Where joy can ring!
I feel alive again. Took six years but better late than never.

I'm so in love,
That I feel that I could fly.
I'm so in love,
That I feel that I could die.
Right here and right now,
I'm about to pass out.

I never knew,
I never thought,
That I could ever feel like that.
I'm so in love;
It's not that bad,
To finally not be so sad.

I'm flying,
And I'm finally not falling.
I'm so in love,
And glad that I'm not crying.

It's new,
It's weird,
I'm so in love;
I never felt like this,
Electrocuted at every kiss.

Happy tears,
Happy days,
I'm so in love;
How did you do this ?

Is this normal?
Is this real?
Am I really allowed to feel...
So in love?
Love....
My failed interaction turned to a situationship
Now I'm consoling myself, it's not that deep.
Crazy how I thought, finally, she's for keep
In the end, what we sowed is what we reap.

I'm left wondering about my self-sabotage
Although I'm guessing I was never in charge
I fell for you by choice, and that was large
In the grand scheme of things, I'm bizarre.

How can I blame myself for being human?
For a thing that's a minority in my lifespan
This testimony is proof of life's lesson,
But I'm just not convinced enough to learn.

Mirror mirror on the castle wall,
Who's the next to make me beg and crawl?

Sometimes the most beloved person is behind us.
Waiting for us to see those tiny things they do.
They somehow manage to be always there without us realising.
Laughing with us till the last breath.
Supporting us with the most unusual way from the very far.
Telling us what to do with the quiet whispers in the back.
Saying speeches that nobody does.
We don’t even think about how much they mean to us, until it is goodbye.
We miss the things they did, or said.
They become our routine characters with out our permission.
Somehow they are those ones we think about when we are low.
They made the world brighter even with no stars.
Sometimes we need to just look around, maybe they already are there -
Waiting for us to see those tiny things they do.

In your eyes, I see the whole world
I see a story, desperate to be told
I see the universe.
I see in your eyes the darkest of nights
And the dusty stars of forever light
I see whole galaxies
And it is the most wondrous sight.
