Lost in symphonic movement
Faure whispering into the dark
Moments that could be
Neither acknowledged nor denied
A summer that happened only in glances
A girl you loved at seventeen
A woman you would muse over
In later years
She wrote endless lines of poetry
About each expression that graced your face
She had given herself to another
Although you caged her heart
But faithful to the end
She could not answer when you asked
Which of us do you love?
Now she looks for you in passing cars
And wishes she hadn’t turned her face
Away
From that near kiss
And a good man she could have loved
Author notes
This is based on a true story of someone I met on a trip at 17. I had a boyfriend back home and refused to be unfaithful, although this beautiful boy truly did capture me. We never saw each other again and although my boyfriend and I broke up and I tried repeatedly to find Ryan, I guess it wasn't meant to be. I still wish I could know what would have been. I don't think it would really change where I am in life now, but I think he would've been a truly great friend for life. Plus, I know that kiss would've beem really hot if I hadn't turned away. FYI- I'm happily married now and wouldn't trade him for anything in the world

Awww...This is sooo sad. It's also soo full of passion. It's too bad she turned her face...She could've found true love in this crazy world. Your poem is soo well written and I hope to see more good stuff from you later on!!

I like this. yeah this seems like it'd be a confusing situation. I love the way the poem flows as a whole and the word choice is great!

i had that happen to me before while I was dating my most recent ex-girlfriend...I met htis really beautiful girl..and I didn't kiss her when I could have...and part of me now wishes I did because when I danced with her I felt a spark..butterflies in my stomach that i never felt for the girl I was going out with at the time. Love can be blind..but there's more fish in the sea..good luck in finding that special one..cuz it is really hard to find...I've spent my whole life looking for it and this poem reminds me of that and how I should be strong and hope and dream...awesome write ~Rush

That was so sweet and sad. I have yet to experience anything like that. I would've kiss him, but I'm not the most ethical person in the world when it comes to love and feelings. You did the right thing, according to your mind. The poem was beautiful. I really really like the last stanza.

this is very sad....very touching.
my sister died at the age of 20 in a car accident (i was 4 years old), and she was madly in love with her best friend named ryan. it was one of those things where he was clueless, and she tortured herself over it. for some reason, i was reminded of my long-gone sister when i read this. amazing job, and thank you so much for sharing! <3becca
