One Step Closer

I see you.

The crowd could be as big as our school.

I only see.

You

Your face

Your eyes

Everything . . . 

You walking away from me

I know you didn't see me.

I chased after you.

Because all I want is you

We talked today

You smiled my favorite smile again today.

With one step closer

I could have easily reached for you

Touched your face

Memorize your eyes

and lips

Fall deeper for you

Fall in love with you . . 

Blue Eyes

Perfect face

I would be brave 

I could be all that you need

Take my hand

Show me the world you have

Let me in

Let us clear away the boundaries we have

With one step closer . . .

I could've have tasted your lips

Taste the sweetness you possess

Time would have stood still

Maybe for a thousand years

With one step closer

I could have something all mine

Something to remember 

To never forget you my first kiss

If only I could

Lean in and kiss your lips

To treasure the moment

To remember you as my first

Sweet J

Don't you see  .  .  . me?

Don't you see . . .me?

Okay, you are so good at fitting a song into your poems! When I was reading this, I automatically starting thinking about that song! Seriously! haha
Oh, don't we all dream of this. One day I suppose...sigh...lol
I liked the 8th stanza the best! Great job as always best friend! ;)
And to what the person said below, you just write from your heart and if your heart is talking aboutJ, then you write about J!

[Aly]

I'm commenting to the last two sentences you wrote . .. EXACTLY!!! Haha. Thank you best friend. Thank you thank you for reading and reviewing my poems.

[Mir]

Haha I thought it was stupid that she said that. but everyone's opinions are different! And don't thank me, Thank you for being such a great writer! :) (But you're welcome! lol)

[Aly]

Yup we all do have our own opinons. :)

[scripted]

Love the poem... I have to be honest though, I'm tired of hearing about J. I'm sorry but it gets old. Feel free to go off on me I just feel as if I'm listening to a broken record. Anyway thank you for sharing

[Aly]

Understandable. I just write what I feel, and well I've been trying to think of other things.

[Britt]

oh jeez., I thought of that song too!!!

[Aly]

Stop it!!! You're in my head!!!!! HAHA!

[Britt]

Sorry. LOL. its just the words make me think of the song. maybe i can read your mind, thatd be creepy. hahahaa.

[Aly]

It's already creepy! Haha!

[Britt]

lmao! i dont do it on purpose. hahah.

[DIVYA]

I sure hope he does. Or he'd be missing something great in life!
Loved the eagerness, the ardor!

[Aly]

thank you :)

[quinfinn]

i love the anxiety and the totally enamored persona you wear within this write, this almost cries out for this person's attention and affections. i know this feeling so well. this is readily identifiable with my own life experiences. i love this....

[Aly]

thank you :)

Music always inspires and your piece is a nice read. I listen mostly to classical - I am bereft of words. Count yourself fortunate. Bach's partitas inspire other paths for words I suppose.

[Aly]

thanks

[Michael Stevens]

Another excellent poem!

[Aly]

thanks

[Lucy Morningstar &heart..]

I'm not really a fan of having some of the lyrics of the song incorporated into it without aknowledging who wrote those sepcific parts, but overall a really nice little poem :)

[Aly]

I did sort of acknowledge who wrote the lyrics. But Most of this is me.

[Lucy Morningstar ♥]

I'm not saying I didnt love it lol cause I did

[Aly]

ok.

[eglantine]

A lot of focus on the face--try giving details of it, why the speaker is so infatuated with it, this person?

[Aly]

ok well the "speaker" is me. And well I write what I feel.
