You had your chance, but blew it.
We could've made something.
I knew you liked me, and
you knew I liked you...
even though you weren't ready for this,
you could've told me how you felt.

Instead, he came along,
He got the guts,
Yes, the one you don't like.
We could've been together,
but now its too late.
Please, don't hate me,
you know I couldn't wait.

You see, I like you both,
but he was ready for me,
I can't just wait until it's convienent for you,
I had to move on,
and see if there was something new.

Well done. I liked it, but the subject is blah. I think it sucks to like two people at the same time and then be sorry that you're with one. SO it's like you'll continue to like both and then what's the point in beign in a comittment?

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Good job on this poem   I'm wondering if you gave this to the other one?

Reminds me of first come first serve

So long lives this, and this give life to thee."  W.S.

i like this a lot, i think you wrote it very well.  my only critique is in the lines:

"i knew you liked me, and
you knew i liked you"

i think that the first stanza would flow better if you brought the and down to the begining of the next line, instead of having a line break after and, but that's just me.  anyway, great job, keep posting your work.

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.
