I Think I Loved That Girl Poem by Nicholas Smith

Beginning of the semester new school new year new me supposedly
Sitting in the counselors office legs tired from standing so much
Head ringing from a headache listening to these phones
Lawd I just wanna go home but I'm pretty excited these girls don't look half bad better than the stuck-up ones at Eastside

Now that I think about it I wonder what the homies doing
JB on the phone texting his females Kolby vibing listening to music cooling Shay being Shay crazy just fooling and
I'm here at Rockdale
Finally called to the back Ms. Sabree breaks down my schedule says that I can graduate in December
Memories instantly flood in my mind about Emani, my ex, shaking my head and trying to focus on what's next

It was literally last month we kissed each other good bye
But after the break up she moved on,9 days, to another guy
Damn I thought she loved me was this another lie?
Snapping out of it but still in my feelings I focus on the deal Ms. Sabree was dealing

8 classes full academic load no electives gotta pass em all if I expect to achieve success
To receive my diploma I must first pass this difficult test
My mother & I proceed to leave she goes one way I go another
She tells me 'have a good day' & I'm as lost like a Freshman on the first day

Last period finally comes I sit down and slump in my chair front row
Class slowly fills and who do I see?
Pretty dark skin girl sits right next to me
Not too skinny but not too big either
She smiiles as I smile and when class ends I formally greet her.
Spitting game I found out Le'Asia was her name
Fast forward to May and we've ran into so much dismay, problems this way and that

We stopped talking to each other but I still felt something
All the females at Rockdale and none of them brought what she would bring
Spring weather and she's moving onwards towards college looking in a way better direction it seems
Schemes even come to mind about how I could make her mines

But the blind must admit they're blind no matter how much they want sight back
Beautiful that girl is no one can deny fact
A new chapter in her life is preparing to unfold &
I must't hold onto anything but the precious memories
Could've been the best of both worlds like a chocolate vanilla swirl even though she was mo' chocolate than vanilla
If it was a secret then it isn't now cause I'm showing the world

I Think I Loved That Girl
