Taken Poem by Mark Reed Jr.

The worse part of a crush
Is not knowing when to give up
Cause since the day we met
I've had a future for us;

Knowing you're taken
Is driving me nuts
Though I can't be mad
Maybe its just my luck

Or could it be karma?

All the time I wasted
When I could have made you mine
Knowing there's not another you
I could possibly find

Oh how I wish, days could rewind
So I can be granted the moment
To begin our ladder of love
Where together we climb

So with that being said...

I hope you don't mind,
How I exposed my mind
To a certain extent
Where I'm forced to draw the line;

I'd hate to lose you
Even though,
You were never mine
Just give me a sign...

So I can feel that I have
Some existence in your heart
Its so hard to begin something
When you don't know where to start

Just know...

If you wasn't taken
There would be an 'us' in the making
With a love so embracing
It'll have our hearts for the taking

Just the thought of us
Has my heart racing
Toward the girl I want most
But is already taken
