It's Still Him (An Original Poem)

in #poetry6 years ago

him

He was my friend, one dear to my heart.
We've known each other for quite a while now.
We were just comrades, oblivious to Cupid's dart.
But something happened, and I don't know how.

One day, our banters gradually lessened.
All the teasing and playing around, it was so different.
He told me the reason, told me he was smitten.
But I wasn't sure whether his words, he really meant.

I didn't feel the same way back then.
Yet something happened, feelings for him grew.
But I wasn't ready, and I don't even know when.
Now when I think back, I regret the chance I threw.

We don't see each other frequently, so I thought it would fade.
But the more I stayed away, the more I couldn't forget.
To me, the chance of letting go just seems to evade.
While he went on, here I am. Moving on? Not yet.

Though someone else is giving me special attention.
He's still the one, the one I yearn for.
I keep waiting for my fate to change, be in motion,
yet my heart waits for him to come through my door.

And I don't even know why it is him, I fell in love with.
He's not the one whose looks could sweep you off your feet.
Yet no other guy could get these feelings rid.
He's still the one who makes my heart beat.

Trying to forget him is a futile attempt.
Not even his flaws could make my love dim.
From his mistakes, I try to find a way, an exempt.
But I can't escape, 'Coz in my heart, It's still HIM, only HIM.



This was one of the poems I wrote for a friend who fell in love with her childhood friend. :3
She asked me if I could write one about her, and this was the result.

You have been victim of a @GrumpyCat flag because you or someone else sent money to buy votes from an irresponsible non-GrupyCompliant service.

@sneaky-ninja is acting irresponsibly by selling votes to people on their post in the last hours before payout. = 99.99% abuse rate.

To know what voting bot to use, refer to https://steembottracker.com/ and use those that have 3.5 day or less in the "Max Age" column.

Ps: Buy votes on 6th day = Get REKT!

@grumpycat @bloom This may be just my own feelings, but please consider warning us first about this before flagging. so that atleast, we will know that next time we do it, we will be flagged, and result in a minus to our payouts. :( at that point then, if we persist in buying votes on the 6th day, any flags we get would be our own fault for not paying attention. Not everyone knows that voting on the 6th day is a bad thing. It was something I did because I read somewhere here before that it was more profitable for the account. I hope you understand my sentiments, and not take this reply offensively.

@grumpycat

  • You are using your power to hurt innocent people.
  • You are flaging posts that are less than 3,5 days old.
  • You are nothing but a bully.
  • This post is flaged and I will continue to flag your posts unless you stop your bully actions.

This stanza hits home for me.

I didn't feel the same way back then. Yet something happened, feelings for him grew. But I wasn't ready, and I don't even know when. Now when I think back, I regret the chance I threw.
I didn't recognize a friend's unrequited love for me; it wasn't until she moved on that feelings arose for her. Funny, how that works. Nice poem, I'll keep an eye out for more of your post.

Exactly what happened to my friend as well! Really an amusing but hard situation, eh?

Thanks! More are definitely coming. ~~

Thank you! ^^
