The Very First One

For those who've always had that friend that could have been so much more...

There's always that girl that you've known for a while,
Just the thought of her face always makes you smile,
Your eyes lock from across the room,
Your heart suddenly jumps,

Boom, Boom

Boom, Boom

No matter your feeling, angry or sad,
It instantly changes to happy and glad,
You try to hold back your smile from showing,
You turn your head, you still feel her glowing,
You take a chance and risk a peek,
There she is, you can't even speak.

Now you're sitting there with that dumb look on your face,
Thinking to yourself, "There's no better time or place."
You're caught in the moment, nothing else matters,
The bell suddenly rings and the moment shatters.
The day is over, they force you to leave,

You go to bed early, like a kid on Christmas Eve.
The days roll by, it happens again and again,
You long for this girl to be more than just friends,
You must take a risk!
You must take a chance!
No matter her response, You've made a stance!

That's all any woman can ask for,
For a man to be a man,
if it doesn't work out, then it wasn't in the plan,
So go on living your life the Best that you can!

Author's Note

This can come from the perspective of either a guy or a girl but since I am a guy I am using that perspective. Hope you enjoy!

I like it, it feels very young and fresh, the innocence of the relationship and the want of more come across, but there is a clear sense that he/she would be happy to continue as friends as if some of the pleasure is in the want and not the result.

Wow! I have so many things about this poem of yours but I'm going to shorten it and say-- bravo!! I like this so much, because I can honestly relate. I have a guy friend or two that I've always wanted to be more than just friends. It sucks because I don't have enough guts to speak up and tell either one of them. Plus, now they've moved on and has girlfriends or talking to a girl(s). Like you mentioned no matter how bad of a mood you were in, it shatters when you see their face. Boy, I can relate to you work anyways! Your rhyming scheme is perfect and fits along with the flow of the poem very nicely. Again, great job! :) Adding to my library!!
