I'll try to ignore the way I feel about you.
I'll try to ignore how you make my stomach hurt,
how you make my knees shake,
how you make my hands shake,
how you make me nervous and I tense up.
I'll try to ignore the hair on your head,
the hair I love.
The stuff that makes me call you
Pinapple Boy.
I'll try to ignore how I feel,
when I pick up the phone to hear
your kentucky accent on the other line.
I'll try to ignore how I feel accepted
by your family, and especially your mom.
I'll try to ignore how I love the way you look down at me,
through your glasses,
and how you're taller than me by too much,
but younger than me too.
I'll try to ignore how I know you so well
that I know when you're looking out the blinds in the window,
to see me when I'm chilling across the street with Donna,
although I don't know why.
I'll try to ignore how much I love you,
Pinapple Boy.
But I know it won't work.

I know you're in a better place and though I cannot see your face, I know you're smiling down on me, saying everything's okay. ~R Kelly (I wish)

You shouldn't ever try to ignore your feelings for someone. There is something more to this but you'll go nuts if you try to stop loving someone when you really do.

Well done on the piece.

I think the poem rocked and as the others said don't hide feelings it only leads to regrets

Sometimes I just get tired of caring about him.  I love him to pieces, more than everything else in the entire world, but sometimes it takes to much energy to care about him the way I need to care about him.  I love him though.  Sometimes I wonder if he even knows that I love him.

I enjoyed this....weird how you called him Pinapple Boy....I liked that.

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

Thanks you two.  Anyways, he cut off the bangs that made him Pineapple Boy, so know he's just "The boy from Kentucky", and Jus, but that's alright.  Talked to him for three and a half hours on Friday!!!!
