Did I love him?
My teenage heart said so
Yet
That 20/20 hindsight
Screams
At the top of its lungs
"NO!"
But back then
It was a tragedy
The way he never noticed me
I dragged along
Dejectedly
Wishing he was next to me
And I would hide my feelings
At every random meeting
Or at least I hope I did
I'll never know
What was going on
In that brain of his
I watched his heart break
For someone else
As I pined in silence
All by myself
It was pretty much
The end of the world
To me
And this all took place
Over less than six weeks
There are people who meet the person they're destined to spend the rest of their life with at the age of 12 or even 5. Love at first sight that lasts a lifetime. And then there's the rest of us. The first crush just seems like true love, the start of an epic romance bla bla bla. We may need to experience some angst, figure out our feelings and then when real love comes along, it stands out by comparison. It's part of growing up, I guess.
Anyway, I wrote this one on the theme of first love from Blockchain Poets.
Peace
