That stare

A simple poem related to the development of a relationship.

That stare

I’m talking to my friends

You’re talking to your friends

Suddenly our gaze have met

Not knowing each other yet

Like battling we strongly stared.

Strangers looking at each other

Common friends became our way

Enemies? Friends? We’ll be someday

We’re the same, why bother?

Unexpectedly we’re together, sitting, chatting

Learned our similarities and differences

Seen as couples, they’re mistaking

They want me for reference

Bid our goodbyes as friends

Never thought you mean it

Answer why? Are you hurt?

Thought forever we’ll be friends

Same as before, we’re staring

Now towards me you’re walking

You handed a bouquet, blushing

I’m in shock, still staring

Starting again, now as lovers

I love that it tells a story. From the very beginning, you get this sense of rush. You feel like a character in this story, thinking these thoughts. I also like the structure and the rhyming. Again, the story is nice because it starts off as strangers but ends with lovers.

Rating: 9.5/10.
