First year of all beginnings
Seated in a quiet lighted room
Trying to keep myself occupied
But that's when you entered the room
Blue shirt, coffee eyes
Turn casual the new cool
And I'd heard you were leaving
But staying here is what you'll do
Deep steady eye contact
Piercing into my soul
And all I've said is goodbye
But secretly I'd talk to you more
As voices echo off walls
I steal glances at you
Your dimples so fit
Like beautiful eclipses few
Closer and closer every second
Till no one knows of distance
Smile and I'll be alright
You make all the difference
Alas! I'd never tell you this myself
I should've wrote this soon
Feared I'd be rejected
Terrified I'd be your doom
And yes, I'm made of poison
The kind that's bittersweet
But you tell me poison heals poison
And I've done no evil deed
I'm sorry, so sorry
So, here's my apology
You may never know ‘tis ‘bout you
But I hope someday you do
You'll forever live with a saint's name
A saint's face and holy thoughts
We come from the same place
A land where battles were never fought
This is the first year of all beginnings
I'll sit in a quiet lighted room
Try to keep myself occupied
And that's when you'll enter the room

Its beautiful Meriam. And very relatable. Regret is something we all battle at some point in life, and I believe its best used as a stepping stone into the freedom of lessons learned.
I like it. :) In my opinion, it really describes the feeling of love and shyness and the intensity of them combined.

how lovely, i like your diction coz it just got that flavour and ability to cleverly express your feelings. i like the way you poetically induces feelings of remorse, regret and nostalgia in the same poem. this is a poem of it's own kind
