About A Boy

I'd like to take a moment,

just a tiny bit of time,

to tell you about a boy

who couldn't make up his mind.

He stayed up 'till three am

talking with a girl he'd just met

and spent hours on the phone

telling her how his day went.

Everyone said he liked her

that there was something in his eyes

but when she moved away, it seemed,

this no longer applied.

Now she is still here waiting

for him to make the next move

and for his promises of phone calls

to turn out to be true.

Author notes

This is one of the few poems that I've written straight out of my own life.

I'm just about finished waiting, so you know.

Oh, I asked him to a dance last Christmas and I've called him. He says he'll call back but then doesn't. We went to dinner with two of his friends a couple of weeks ago and we're s'posed to go the movies, but I haven't talked to him since then.

This is cute dear but kind of sad too.
What about calling him?

good job.
It's such a shame that guys can't keep their promises.And waiting on phone calls gets REALLY tiresome.....I know how you feel...This is a great poem with a lot of emotion from such a young girl.....Nice profile page by the way...the flow in the poem was good...the structure well rounded and the theme was uncommon...which is what I like to see when reading poetry...well done Poet...Keep writing!

Sincerely...Arkbear.
