It Starts out as a small crush
Before they were just innocent smiles and hugs
I’d take you out whenever you wanted
We were well “Just Friends”

I saw how he treated you
I heard people talkng about it
And it hurt me that he would hurt you so much
All I wanted to do was help you
Lift you out of the deep sadness you felt
And then as I tried to lift
I fell for you

The night I was taking you home
I remember like it was yesterday
Boom! There was a noise that made you feel scared
Then you hid your face from me
Ashamed of the tears falling from your pretty brown eyes
Then you removed your hands from your face

And I swear it was like looking at an angel
At that moment I saw in your eyes something that I’ve never seen before
I started realizing who you were and what I wanted

But I was very hesitant and I admit I was scared
I questioned myself and wondered “Why would she even think about being with me?”
She is so beautiful and caring and just everything that I wanted
In the past love and relationships in my life haven’t always been the best
But I knew that I had to tell you somehow, that I felt this way for you

I could’ve told you at the dance but I was preoccupied
I felt so guilty and really came down on myself
I came with you, but I spent more time on a turntable than with you
I’m very sorry for being such a bad date that night

Christmas in the Park was where I planned on telling you
Throughout the night I tried getting close to you
I kept on waiting for you to say you were cold or something
I was so shy around you
There was no way I could even get the words I wanted to say to you out of my mouth

So I wrote the letter
Hidden in the red stocking with the teddy bear
As I pulled into a parking lot I was so nervous
Pretending that my car could not go on
I said, “I need to check the back, I know what’s wrong”
Then opened the trunk and went for it
I called you to the back of my car for help with
As you came around I grabbed the stocking and the bear with letter stuffed and gave it to you
I saw you smile and your face filled with shock
I was happy that I could make you feel that way
All that was going through my head was, “Kiss her stupid!” but I was too stupid and did not
I then dropped you off and gave you a hug goodbye

She did not see the letter yet
I poured my heart out in that letter
I told her how I loved everything about her and how I felt
How her smile can brighten my day
How just being around her made me feel good
And just how beautiful I thought she was

Honestly I kind of was hoping that she didn’t read it because what if she just totally laughed at me
Down in the bottom of my heart I was praying she’d embrace my feelings with the same feelings of her own
I am not exactly sure when she read the letter but when she did I was deeply touched by her reaction

It made her cry
She said it was one of those happy cries
Like your happy and your sad
You Got to live through it to know it

Then she wrote me one of the best letters I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading
It touched me in a way that only she could
The way it got to me is probably the coolest thing
She drove to my house (no license)
In the middle of the night and gave it to me personally

Before this I didn’t know if she cared about me
I was unsure of her feelings
But she had to feel something for me right?
The tears she cried, the letter, and the way she delivered the letter
Am I stupid or are those hints of affection?

At the time I started thinking that she liked me
Maybe not a lot but a little

If she’d only open herself up
When I talk to her it’s like she’s holding back
I know there’s more to her than what she lets people know
Under all the intuitions you might have about her there’s a whole ‘nother person there
Hidden and secluded from you, but dying to get out

She might’ve opened up once
We once had a talk at Fair Oaks Park in the middle of the night on the swings
That day I thought she was mad at me
When she’s like upset she takes walks
So when I finally built up the guts to go I went looking for her
I walked everywhere just hoping to find her and tell her all that I wanted to say
I did see a figure in the distance
When it started getting close I thought it was her
Then something came over me and I started crying
Crying for various reasons
Extreme happiness, guilt, I don’t know
As the figure got closer I realized it wasn’t her...

Sorry it's not done yet... I got a whole lot more to put down... please give me back your feedback

Not bad, not bad at all.  I have recently experienced this situation almost exactly, minus all the details, and it seems nearly impossible to deal with.  I would like to know how it turns out so keep posting.

More like a story than a poem but beautiful just the same. So do you get her? Does love win out???

-- Crystal

 "The worst of what people do to one another is deceive.
Because when you love someone you control their version
of reality. If you lie to them that's like making them
autistic so that what they believe is reality is in fact,
not their true situation at all."

It's not the angry words that break the heart, it's the silence.

Someone said that true love is like a ghost -- often spoke of but never seen.
I've seen both and yet in my darkest hours, tend to believe that neither exits.

This is the author of this poem. Sorry to leave all you guys on a cliffhanger, but i'm having trouble put into words what happened in the end. It's pretty sad, so post what you think happened and I'll try to finish the real story A.S.A.P.
