[the kiss]
What began as a favor to me to dissuade others advances
developed into something more,
more than I thought it ever could.
I blinked twice & before I knew what was happening
you were kissing me..
It felt so natural,
like this is what I’ve been waiting for,
like you’d kissed me a thousand times before that,
even though it was only the first.
& I found I couldn’t stop.
Walking out the door, he stops me.
Kissing me again, he asks,
"Am I gonna see you anytime soon?"
I kissed him, saying I hoped so.
[conversation with a friend]
She looks at me & smiles.
This huge grin plastered across her face.
“So you guys were just acting?”
I think we kind of have something, I tell her..
but I don’t want to get my hopes up.
Guess we’ll wait & see.
A few days later
riding around listening to Korn.
You asked if I like him.
"Yeah, I’ve always kinda liked him
but I didn’t think we’d ever.."
"I get what you mean" she says.
“He wants to know what kind of roses you like.”
I didn’t know, I’d never gotten a rose before.
[valentine’s day]
We made plans for Valentine’s Day.
I guess you could say we’d been seeing each other
for about two weeks..I didn’t know what to expect.
I was just hoping for something.
Before leaving, you tell me to hang on,
forgetting something, you run back in.
(He forgot to ask me out until a week later,
saying it felt like we already were.)
As you come out, closing the door.
You hand me a black rose and m&m’s oh so casually
saying, "here, these are for you."
Looking at me like your expecting me to run
I can’t help but smile..
You were too sweet.
Reassured his feelings were more than just lust.
That night was the first time I thought maybe I’d found someone.
Someone I could be with for awhile…
Looking back now, I see that you haven’t changed.
My perception has though..
I’m sorry I made you out to be
something that you obviously weren’t meant to be..
