Waiting and Wondering

My breath quickened,
my heart rate inclined,
my friends asked if I was okay,
I assured them I was fine.

You passed by in the hallway,
and avoided eye contact;
did you really not see me,
or was it all just an act?

I waited all day to see you,
but when I walked into class,
you totally ignored me,
you could be such an a**.

The very next day,
same class, same time,
you weren't even there,
but you were on my mind.

The day after that,
you ignored me again,
you'd never admit your feelings,
ugh...men.

I knew you noticed me,
when I wasn't looking, you were,
so until one of us confessed,
it would have kept going this way for sure.

All my friends said I was crazy,
but I didn't care anymore
because you were the one
that I completely adored.

I finally got tired
of waiting and wondering,
I wanted to approach you
but I worried what that might bring.

But I sucked it up
and went to where you stood,
then I chickened out and said,
"So did you think that movie was good?"

After you answered,
I just walked away,
because I couldn't figure out
what else to say.

Then we went back
to the way we were before,
not noticing each other
until you couldn't stand it anymore.

You approached me and kissed me
and knew exactly what to say,
without saying a word, after that one simple act,
nothing would be the same after that day.

The next day in class,
I sat down in my normal spot;
I remembered our kiss,
and hoped you hadn't forgot.

That happened years ago,
now the boy I once adored,
the one I thought didn't know I existed,
will remain mine forever more.

Author notes

The first part is very self explanitory, but at the end, she was actually reading this at their wedding and explaining how they got together.

Yeah, a story that i got bored and made up in World History. so, no, its not real at all. and, no, i don't have a guy that i was thinking about while i was writing this.

    Well written. I liked your rhyming. It was well placed and not forced at all. This is a cute story. If only this was how it really went. =] Though it doesn't really relate to what I asked for, I'll still keep it in the contest.

    -you'd never admit your feelings,
    ugh...men.
    ...

    Very true. I love that =] Thanks for entering & good luck ! <3

    not bad
    I like your rhyme
    I have no idea why you censored yourself. I think that's unnecessary. we are all adults around here, plus it distracts the reader when you do that.

    also, I would suggest you use a darker font, like maybe black. it would make your poem much easier to read.
