PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Guys rarely liked me

when I was growing up

so after years,

I wondered if there 

was something wrong with me.

The guys I dated were

not good-looking

in the traditional sense,

and worse I wasn't 

attracted to them 

in the slightest.

Then you came along,

the first cute guy

I'd ever kissed,

and you called me pretty.

And I melted 

in your hands,

and all my thoughts

became about you.

I planned our wedding

and thought you would be

my happily-ever-after.

But one day you told me

you didn't want 

to date me 

and my whole world imploded.

Everything unraveled,

and I stopped caring

about being careful

and made so many mistakes.

Then after a few months,

I met someone else

that slowly made me 

forget about you.

He treated me better

than any guy before

but something was still missing:

he wasn't you.

Eventually that man 

made me his wife

and things have been great. 

Yet every so often,

you cross my mind

and my emotions take hold

and I'm that rejected girl again.

I want to reach out

but instead I try to find

some evidence of you 

on social media.

I find a picture of you

dated six months ago;

you've lost your hair,

and you're really not

that cute anymore.

I wanted you to 

like me so bad

back then but today 

I'm glad you didn't.

Not because you lost

your good looks;

because I know now,

you weren't the one for me.
