at first it was because i thought i loved you
we planned secret places
to write out stories
on the pages of pages
of unwritten life
at second i wasn't so sure
stories seemed stressed
unspoken awkwardness
something was jilted
at third we fought
trusted secrets into ammunition
teasing, joking,
not realizing the damage we really did
at fourth, apologies
regretting the ignorant stabs
i missed the friendship,
the feeling that you could say anything, ask anything
and he wouldnt care
at fifth, craving
the rush of adrenaline
wish i could just walk up and kiss him
throw everybody else out the window
wrap ourselves up in our own little world
at sixth, trust
i trust him to be careful
not to hurt me
to go places unknown, unexplored
only him
at seventh,
hope-
who knows?
at eighth, turn away
a friend, only a friend
no more dreams, no more hope
not ever going to happen
but im ok with that
Author notes
just our relationship in a nutshell, i care so much about him, and i used to wish so desperately that he would ask me out, but now i wouldn't say yes, to anything

well said
I thought this was very real and honest. I really like how each stanza is really another chapter. Hopefully there will be additional "chapters" that share good results.~Paige

time is inevitable for all relationships to develop
hang in there and something will happen

Wonderful... Great write... I really like how you have the first/second... It just made it all light and airy... It didn't make it so deep and looming... But, it also kept it away from the serious side of poetry.. Which made it... unprofessional. If you know what i mean...
Great write though
