Miriam's Poems 🫶🏼

Sitting alone in the school hallway,
When out of a sudden I seen an attractive boy coming my way.
Quickly wiping my tears from my eyes,
Just so that no one will ask why.
Not knowing what else to do but stare,
Noticing all he would do is glare.
The mysterious boy was always so quiet and grumpy,
It was rare when I would see him smile or happy.
He was always to the side on his own,
It seemed like he needed help and a friend even though he was grown.
We were both the same in a way,
We kept to ourselves and made sure people stayed away.
Something attracted me to him,
But the truth was that I was so scared to talk to him.
His face expressions made it seem like he was rude and cold hearted,
But for some reason I couldn't stop thinking about him.
I'm not going to lie, the first day I saw him I thought he was very cute and attractive,
But at the moment I could not have him.
My attraction for him only grew by each passing day,
When friends or someone caught me staring or asked if I was ok, I just said that there was nothing to say.
I was a sophomore and he was a senior,
When I would think of us together, I always told myself that I was one big dreamer.
He was soon going to graduate,
So I thought there was no point to wait.
On the very last day of school,
I walked around looking for him like a fool.
Until someone told me he wasn't going to come,
I felt a pain and guilt that I didn't think I would overcome.
I told myself, "Life goes on",
So I decided to live life and move on.
