[Hi ya'll, I just need to give you a little background info. on this piece first. It's about a guy, an incredible guy named Matt. Who I am practically falling in love with, yet I'm so afraid to talk to him. Ask him out. this is no average crush. If you guys have advice, I'd love to here it. And thanks for reading this. Just tell me excactly what you thought, not what you think I want to hear. Thanks again, and please read it, even though it's long.]

There are so many things,
I wish I could tell you
Things I want to tell you
Like how much I like you,
Admire you, look up to you
Just for always being yourself
No matter the odds
And, I wish I could tell you
How much it would hurt
Me to know you were seeing
Her
Her, another girl, someone other than me
For my heart loathes to be with you
I loathe to be with you
Have you one on one
Just you and me, under the stars
Holding hands, laughing together all night long
Our souls as one
Two unlikely people together
Everything perfect, nothing wrong
Ever.
Breaking the odds.
And yet, I am here now alone
And you are at your home
or, wherever else you may be
For I know nothing about you,
Just the fact that I like you
I feel like I've known you for so long,
When we're together
You make me laugh
And I laugh, deep down for eternity
I smile and light up every time I see your face
Sweet face, sweet eyes, sweet lips, sensitive smile
Sexy smile.
Boy, do I love that smile.
And that laugh.
My heart pitter-patters when I think of you
I walk on clouds
I want to be with you
   Please let me be with you,
If only you would take me
So we can be as one
As it should be
Me with you.
You with me.

Oh, you
There are so many things,
I wish I could tell you
Things I want to tell you
If only I could bring myself to say the words
The pen can write, but I can't speak
If only...

"Love doesn't make the world go 'round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile."

haha that's sweet.

i dont have much to say about the poem. to me, it was more of a telling of the situation rather than a poem, so i hesitate to judge its poetic merits.

i have one piece of advice for you, and that is something i have recently learned: that love is not something you fall into (that's infatuation), but that love builds over time as you get to know the person. love is a bond.

i hope you find the love you are searching for, but don't think about it too much. :-) enjoy your life.

I just want him to hold me all the time!! lol He is so just strong, and big, and SWEET!!! Okay, enough about that! lol. I really liked this poem though! Awesome write, though the Imagery could be better!

I want a relationship i can finally sink my teeth into.~ Alexander Sterling
