Story of us

I met you and acted rude,
Before even knowing you.
I’m sorry for what I’ve done,
I didn’t mean to shun.
Now I know we have a special bond,
And I am quite fond,
Of the person you are.

I’m glad we are friends so far.
I know I said I didn’t like you,
But sometimes I’m not always true.
I hope we stay friends forever,
Maybe have a job together.

I don’t know why I feel this way,
I don’t even know what to say.
I told you I liked you.
Then I was afraid to talk with you.
You knew I was feeling bad,
Even though, I was really feeling sad.
You came over and gave me,
A giant hug.
It meant so much when you did so
For now I know,
We will be friends forever,
We won’t feel strange when together.

Later I had to leave
But I truly believed,
We would see each other again.
For our friendship started to begin.

We gave a hug and you told me
“I will miss you.”
My heart flew like a happy bee.
I replied, “I’ll miss you too”
And I knew our friendship is true.

Now we talk when we can, 
My heart would never ban,
The happiness that fills me when
I see you, hear you or talk to you again. 

All I say now,
Is that I must bow,
To a truly great guy, 
That every girl wishes
they had by their side.

On the Teeter Totter

Do you ever feel like you don’t belong
with a group of people you should
belong with – 
Should be okay with?
But you feel yourself standing there
Watching, not experiencing.
Viewing something you should
be enjoying but you stand
Blending in with the background
Feeling invisible and gone
what it should be like.
It is disconnected,
disjointed and distant.
You try to join but as your
Energy emerges,
their’s retreats…
A teeter totter of energy,
of feeling good and bad
but no one sees it except you. 
Because you are the only one watching. 
the only one there, yet not.
the only one who feels like
they don’t belong.
