I didn't know it was you

*~ Guy Poems ~* July 18th 2018
We met when I was innocently seventeen
I knew nothing other than I one day wanted to be someones Queen
I was so naive and young
If anyone showed me attention I clung
There were words I secretly hunted
and certain emotions I never confronted
Anyone that gave me the time of day
became someone I wanted in any way
Which is why when I met you
I completely had no clue
I didn't understand your type
not your reason, not the hype
Now its crystal clear to me
Everything I missed and didn't see
You're a true gentleman everyday
Young and naive me let you slip away
I cant help but regret
and question my ignorant mind set
Because if I had only seen who you truly are
Chances are I wouldn't have let you go too far
When we were together what seems like a lifetime ago
I felt like I wasn't the one that brought out your glow
And yet here I am today
Consumed with how I should of handled it in a different way
Because knowing now what I let go
Replays in slow motion in my mind like a show
You're such a considerable person that in my mind you've made your own category
And no one except my grandfather could come close to that territory
I am sorry if this rhyme
has become out of line
but I needed you to understand
How sorry I am firsthand
I'm telling you all of this and dont even know
If you're involved with someone who gives you that glow
If I had only known where this life would have taken me
I know exactly what I would have done differently
When I Was 17
I lived at the library, the museums, and in the movie theatre - kept me out of trouble by self-regulating my activities. Boys were not invited and men were definitely out. A good set of choices. Clear prose style. I am usually not one for rhymes. - slc
