I was never especially attracted to blond hair
Or blue eyes
Until you came around
-
I know you probably never think of me
And it's okay
But I think of you all the time
-
I think of you at least
3 times per day
Is that healthy?
-
Yes, I do realize how ridiculous I sound
And how crazy I act
But you're a little quirky yourself, so it's all good
-
I feel like you are one of those people I could just hug
For hours on end
Saying nothing
-
Remember the day I told you I liked you but you didn't like me back?
And I kept telling you I was okay?
I lied, I was crying on the bus
-
Remember when you had to tell me to go to bed?
That weekend I stayed away over night?
I thought that was the cutest
-
Remember at the dance when I kept playfully slapping your shoulder?
Whenever you said anything funny?
Yeah, I just wanted to touch you
-
I can't help that you're adorable!
And have gorgeous eyes and arms!
And have those cute cowlicks, and tiny ears, and perfect smile, and...
-
I'm sorry I left you behind at the dance
I didn't want to and I never thought you'd remember
But I spent the whole night searching for you
-
I'm sorry I couldn't kiss you on the stairway
I really wanted to, ridiculously badly
But if I stared into your eyes, I might have frozen
-
If I had kissed you
I have a feeling you'd tell me I was really good
Even if I wasn't
-
Thank you for waiting at the door for me
And walking with me between classes every day
I will never forget that
-
And that time you offered to give me chocolates from your dad's store
That was the nicest thing
Anyone has ever offered me
-
Please come here teddy I need to snuggle
You're so addictingly warm and sweet
I just want to rest my head on your stomach
-
I know I should be looking forward
But I can't help but constantly look back
Because that's where you are
-
Remember that peck you gave me at the mall?
When I saw you for the last time?
Thanks for that :)
-
...
I tried texting you but you didn't want to talk
But you were really polite
I miss you
-
...
I'm back again
*sigh* again of course
Because I can't stay away
-
I've only been away a few weeks
But it feels like months
Is it possible for me to get over you?

This was originally written as completely separate three-line poems, but I combined them. And yes, I did have someone in mind when I wrote this.
