My Unseen Unrequited Love Poem by Lilian Chromious Eveson

The first time I saw you everything stopped,
Your very presence made my heart hop,
Before I even knew what was up,
My heart was beating non-stop.

I found myself deeply inhaling the air,
I just stood there wanting to touch your hair,
My face was so heated up like it was on flare,
An unfamiliar feeling washed away all despair.

Who could have known that I fell for you?
That there is nothing else that I can do,
But stare at your face hoping I'll find a clue,
To help me find my courage to talk to you.

A year had passed until I finally found out your name,
I knew it was stupid but who can I blame?
I'm just a person wanting you to feel the same,
The same suffocating obsession to the person I want to claim.

I am such a coward but I still yearn,
For that certain you that I cannot earn,
Seeing you with that smile makes my heart burn,
I'm stuck in this painful path that I always adjourn.

You're tall, cute and have that cool drum set that you play,
There were chances to talk to you but I can't find something to say,
Because seeing you is enough to complete my day,
And it's not like I'm brave enough to talk to you anyway.

You're graduating and I'm going to be left alone,
You don't even know my heart is about to be blown,
Will you like me if you could have known,
Or am I going to get stuck burying my feelings in this poem?

I'm so filled with regret caused by stupidity,
I should never have fantasized about you and me,
I should have spoke to you so you'll see,
That I wanted to say I love you but I didn't have enough bravery.
