I sat in the same room with you year after year
And never saw what was to come of us
Look at us now, we are nothing of what others expected
They expected us, the quiet one and crazy one,
To never sit together hand in hand
Look at us now, we sit in this same room once again
With your arms wrapped around me and our fingers intertwined
And no one can believe that we are there sitting together
Now when I enter this room, I go through all the memories
All the memories that we have shared in this room
Not all of them are of us holding hands
And kissing lightly on the lips
Most of them are of us sharing glances across the crowd
With me standing there with someone else's arms around me
And yet, you waited till I was ready to fall in love with you
When you finally took what you thought was your last chance,
You thought I still belonged to someone else
And it came to be that for once I was all alone
And I said yes, and now we sit in this room
With one another and no one else.

This is a good poem. I think you told the story very well. It's weird how someone can actually wait until you are ready to fall in love with them. I think that this is a wonderful write.

most of my love poems are anything but depressing... thanks for the comment...

I loved it! It sort of reminds me of me, but I wasn't in quite the same situation. This was so emotional and interesting; normally I avoid poems about love because they're depressing, but I love this one! You're a very talented writer
