Just Dots On The Page

I finally told the guy I like that I liked him.......This is how I felt

At first I was scared to tell you how I felt 

Afraid you were going to reject me 

Holding on so nervously to see your answer

Feeling so awkward in between the long pauses 

Trying to find the courage to say what I need to say 

Finding the words to tell you everything

Hoping it won't make things weird with us 

Needed it not to be something strange 

Not knowing if my feelings will even get the attention they deserve

Or be brushed off like they didn't matter

Given the time of day maybe they could become more 

Now it is up to me to just hit enter 

Finally getting up the courage to say I like you 

Leaving the message out in the world for your eyes to see

The waiting is killing me with no response from you 

Just the three little dots at the end of the page ...

I relate to this so much. I love the imagery. It made me envision the message, the hanging on, the waiting. Great job!

I related to this poem in so many ways... The memories it had brought back... When you have liked/loved someone for so long that it requires this unimaginable amount of bravery to voice how you feel. In every moment... The courage it takes just to love them everyday when it feels as if there are endless obstacles in the way. Rather it be space. Rather it be meeting in unusual circumstances. Like falling in love here of all places. To overcome deep fears in hopes to follow your heart, in hopes for the happiness of a requited love, regardless of the circumstances as honest love always finds a way to prevail. I hope you are proud of yourself... Truly proud of yourself. It takes a wondrous soul, a strong spirit, to push aside fears and pursue dreams. Even if they are foolish enough to not love you back, take with you that knowledge that you had did everything that you could and let this truth be a light in the moments of darkness. Wishing you the greatest of luck! And thank you... For the words that reminded me.

I like the ending. Using the ellipses to mirror what actually happened works nicely.


Why did you decide to do it over text message instead of in person?

It was easier for the time being. There are just some things that are going on and it was just better that way. Thank you for enjoying my poem. =)
