Our conversations have been nothing more,
Then this blank page all along.
I can’t help but start to wonder,
What I’m doing wrong.
Legs folded and arms crossed,
For security or luck,
Maybe it’d be better if I left things lost,
Instead of trying to find my way up.
We’re here in the bottom,
Or maybe just I am,
I can’t see anything clearly,
I just keep pretending that I can.
Was that my first mistake?
Not being completely honest.
People don’t realize how much that takes,
And how little it returns.
The first Error was just a leader,
With an army of Regrets in tow.
I can’t ever step back from where I am.
I just want you to know, I didn’t know.
I was oblivious to where I went,
Blind to any signs,
I didn’t realize what I love you meant,
Especially in your eyes.
I just want you to know…
I didn’t know.

So i know this poem prolly won't leave you in awe, but it's what's been on my mind lately, and this was the first contest I clicked on..and it's what happened. It's about a guy that I used to talk to for hours about absolutely nothing..and I didn't realize how much he thought all that nothing meant.
