Letter

It’s been three years now

Since you said ‘no’

And still I think of you

I’ve tried to move on

And have literally moved

To a city far from your town

But still I wonder

If you ever loved me

And felt the way I do

We were so young

And still young now

But love waits for no one

The first year

We laughed and we played

I batted my lashes at you

You smiled so brightly

Whenever I was near

But then

You finally found out

I didn’t tell you

You weren’t supposed to know

You shook your head

And stayed away

Oh, how I missed you

The second year

I waited around

And tried to talk to you

You ran away

And went to friends

And left me wondering

I couldn’t stay for 7th grade

Because it was too late

I had already moved away

You never said you forgave me

But I apologized still

I tried to forget you

And loved someone else

Who made me jitter and dance

But I visited one day

To just see my friends

And everyone else at the fair

I caught only a glimpse

Of your freckled face

But still my heart pounded

At the sight

I waved my hands

And yelled out your name

Just happy to see you again

You looked up for a second

And lifted your hand

But you didn’t smile at all

Maybe it’s your fault

Maybe it’s mine

Maybe it’s neither of ours

Maybe it was time

And growing up

And splitting into groups

You were popular

I was a cute nerd

Though I still flitted into other groups

But still I love you

Because you made me happy

Beyond belief

And that was enough for me

P.S

Don’t worry

I’ll get over you
