Things You Never Knew Poem by SarahLaney Long

I never told you how much you meant to me.
How you always had something positive to say to me.
I didn't tell you who I wanted you to be.
When you were with me
I never could breathe
Because you were the guy of my dreams.

I never told you all of my secrets
How many things I missed and all my regrets
And how much I loved you, it was all a secret.
Some knew I just liked you, but I can never forget.
The way I felt about you, since the day that we met.

I felt so ashamed because I would lie
I would tell everyone that you were the perfect guy
Most of it was true, but then I asked myself why?
Why couldn't it not be true, about you, being my perfect guy?

You were sweet
And kind, and would sweep me off my feet
When ever I thought of you, I knew that I would get a good night sleep.
I don't think I ever knew a love that was so deep

You weren't like most guys I knew
And that's why I fell in love with you.
I knew there was a distance problem between me and you.
But thought we could make it through.
I don't know if this is wrong or if this was way to fast for you...
But my dear friend, I still do love you!
