I don't know if You Knew

And I just poured out my thoughts about "you".

"Hi" was all I could say

whenever I see you in the hallway.

You walked right through me

with your hand locked with hers.

I have been staring at you from afar and I,

surely caught you looked at my direction and smile.

My heart skipped a beat thinking that you finally noticed me

But it all shattered like a broken glass

when she came out from my back and gave you a kiss that's so sweet.

I don't know if you knew 

that I've been liking you for so long.

I've been thinking of you since I first saw you.

You walked in front of me 

but I'm invisible to your eyes that looks so lovely.

Then one day, everything becomes a fairy tale come true.

You've been waiting for me at the end of the aisle

as I walked with a white veil

and everyone sings a romantic bridal song.

We made some silly vows, 

and laughed it all out.

And our audiences gathered their hands

as they congratulate and took pictures of us.

Then we danced with a song of unspoken love

I thought it's a real thing with you holding me

But I woke up from that daydream 

and you slowly drift away.

And now, I don't know if you knew

that I'm turning my back at you.

But you suddenly reached for me

Wishing me a merry Christmas

even if it already passed.

But boy, don't you ever know?

I am so over you.

Oh, a crush. It’s a cute poem. Cute, tender and bittersweet.

I was not able to reviewed this yesterday because I was on a hurry out. It is always nice to see my fellow Kabisaya in here writing English poems. This piece feels like a teenage crush, daydreaming or a deep dream of wedding bells. I think it’s a fantasy come true for most teenager girls now a days that only happens in the vivid imaginations of a young one.

Do you know when we write something in poem. It reflect some reality, some fragment of memory of the past of you or someone else. Perhaps you’ve witness or watch someone that reflects this storyline, or on the other hand it’s one of your experienced. But never mind that, you have achieved a very cute poem.

“I don't know if You Knew”… it is really a good title. It speaks of unrequited love, something that your one special friend or someone would never knew. Reality check, it happens more often. In life, many would keep it, too afraid, sometimes people just wanted to be practical in life and do what’s more important or more of value like money and status… I think I’ve talk too much..lol, but I did enjoyed contemplating on your piece kabayan. Keep it up!

Salamat. honestly, this is my first time to write a poem that's not school related. :)
I don't usually write poetry. But this one just popped out of my head. hehe
I may say, it's better to write something out of experience than out of imagination.

Well, the wedding part really happened pero sa marriage booth nga lang. ;)
Thanks for encouraging. :)

hahaha, you funny kabayan. I like it, atleast pretend marriage is good, preparation for the future..lol

it's better to write something out of experience than out of imagination. ~ true words, I believed that realistic write ups have more impact in life's general. Maybe because it is easy to apply it in our life. Your welcome...

This is a good poem and I really felt the emotions and I wish to read more of your stories.

Dear Ema

What a beautiful write.

I am so very whelmed with the innocence and the fragnatic flavor of that write.

Keep writing great.

Stay blessed

Can you please cite the errors so I could make this better? thanks :)

I have been staring at you from afar and I
surely caught you looked at my direction and smile.
Maybe just your broken english but this could use a touch up here.
When you walked in front of me
but it seems like I'm invincible to your lovely eyes.
Wondering if that should be invisible to your lovely eyes.
Maybe I'm wrong here. would not be the first time..maybe it's just your poetic license and I'm just making something of nothing.

thanks! I'll try to improve my poem :)
