Its Not An End, Its Just A New Begining...9-29-11 Poem by Rachel Byrum

A month and nine days ago you asked me out
I punched and slapped you
But you didn't care
You held my hand and i held yours
I held you close and you kissed me
... Everything was perfect
And then my mom invaded my personal space
And raped my thoughts away from a page
She shared them with my dad
They looked at them and were disappointed
I could see the hurt in their eyes
But they couldn't see it in mine
I told you and you seemed scared
I tried to talk
But all you did was walk
For three days i waited
Waited for you to look at me
Waited to see some sign if we were still 'a thing'
And finally you looked
And i was happy when you smiled and said 'hi'
But it was awkward
You didn't hold my hand or walk me to my class
We didn't kiss good bye
Then today i was walking
And you saw me
You came over and stood beside me
And I knew what was coming
I could see it from the way that you'd walked
And how far you were from me
You told me that it was messed up
That i was the one in trouble
For being in a relationship with you
You told me it would probably be better
If we could just be friends
You hugged me then...
And i thought about what we had been
And what we could still be
You told me this nine hours ago
But the sting still hasn't left
You were my first boyfriend
And you gave me my first kiss....
I'm not gonna make you stay
I know my love for you won't waste away
But i love you enough to let you go....
And i wrote this note so you would know

(I think it sucks but oh well.)
