Not For Me Poem by Javier Falcon

Tempted to ask you your name,
to introduce myself to you,
give you a kiss on the cheek,
showing you my interest.

As I am one which loves you,
wanting you to be mine,
for you to take time to be with me,
as I want to get to know you.

Yet I hesitate, looking at you from afar,
not knowing what to do, what to say,
not even knowing what you think,
and if you have ever seen me.

I have known you most of my life,
yet knowing so little about you,
just knowing you are perfect,
and that I need you in my life.

So I get up from my chair toward you,
and striking a wall which holds me,
as my body feels heavy and sinks,
returning my empty figure to the chair.

As I see you greet another person,
with that look I have wanted from you,
that of outer most sweet love,
making me look away and smile.

As I was once told by someone wise,
love only comes to a limited number,
and is never seen ever again in life,
so you can only love one person.

Yet he followed with a warning,
love isn't for all who have felt,
specially when you know they aren't for you.
if you truly love someone, let them go.
