floating down a river...

This one's not really very good. Just a vent of my current feelings.

______________________

My head leans against a fogged up bus window,
Pensively looking out at the roadside attractions.
You're sitting a few seats away from me,
Doing almost the exact same thing.
Only,
You look happy.
I hate the fact that you like her,
And not me.
I can't blame you,
She's pretty,
And one of my closest friends.
It's just that: For the past year I've fantasized about being with you.
And what it would be like.
I can really see myself with you,
It's such a shame that I didn't start talking to you,
Until after you met her,
I'm so stupid.
If only I had been there that night,
Maybe then you'd wanna be with me,
Maybe then I'd be happier.
But for now I guess I can only let it go.
[Pssst.....I like you a lot.]

That was actually really lame. I just didn't feel like putting a whole lot of creative thought into this. Just wanted to vent.

For the vent you wanted it to be, it was a good one. Poetry is an extremely valuable tool for venting.... I'm glad you had it to use.

I hope you are truly able to let go, and focus on yourself.

I think that with some line breaks and such it could be just fine. Poems don't have to be fancy or chocked full of metaphors that not even the author understands.... they just have to be honest.  

It's honest and it's something anyone could identify with.
