Hearts beat, too fast
They look at each other
Each had known each other in the past
But nothing special.
She looked at him, he looked at her
Into each other’s eyes
All you could hear was a murmur
Of both of their hearts, beating as one.
They’re both thinking of who will speak
Blankly stareing, eyes saying everything
Finally, the girl speaks, saying,
“What are you thinking?”
The boy’s surprised
Not knowing what to say
He knew his feelings for her
But wasn’t ready to say it that day.
The girl waited, quiet and patient
And he took advantage of that
Praying to God to help him
He looked down, and he sat.
“Well, I like you,” he told her
“More than a friend.”
The girl started to murmur
Praying that it was pretend.
But it wasn’t, wasn’t a dream
It was real, real as herself
Tears ran down her face like a stream
But wiped them away, being secretive.
“I like you too,” she told him
Still looking down
“My feelings were so strong
I just wanted to drown.”
Once again, they looked at each other
He looking at her, she at him
What was thought to be nothing special
Turned out to be something more.
They both got up, still looking
And they grasped each other’s hands, not missing at the least
Leaning in closer, closer, eyes closing
And the two kissed.
Years later, two people sit
On that same front door step
Children playing, children laughing
Some neat and tidy, some unkempt.
The two people look into each other’s eyes
Feeling that chemistry years ago
The little girl and little boy
Thanking God for bringing them together.
And this poem reminds me of gothic19 and her gf...You two are the best! ^_^
