Homecoming

This is a poem about what happened when I went to homecoming last fall, I saw the guy who I really liked with another girl.

I saw you with her,

She looked so beautiful,

With her hair perfectly curled,

and you by her side.

You looked so stunning,

Dressed to a tee,

The best I'd ever seen you,

But you weren't with me.

I sat at a table, 

Pretending to listen to my friends chatter on,

But I only saw you,

Did you catch me staring?

I wondered If you saw me,

Or if you even cared,

I kept hoping that you did,

Deep down I knew you didn't. 

So I pretended,

To have the time of my life,

Just in case,

You'd happen to walk by.

Months have passed,

But I can't help but wonder,

Was I even on your mind,

While you were with her?

I finally asked you,

Just the other day,

You looked at me,

Then you looked away.

I was upset at first,

Then I thought,

It was just a dance,

There is surely more to worry about than this.

Then I smiled and thought,

It doesn't bug me anymore,

Because I have your heart,

And she's just a w***e.

Wow, this is wonderful Alexis. I know how it feels to see the guy you like with someone else. Your last stanza made me laugh :P You go girl! You're a winner in the end. Plus, you're right it was just a dance. You have more opportunities. Please keep writing my friend! :)

this is really good. I'm sure I've been at that exact table with those thoughts in my mind, the pain inside.
