She Didn't Know

The winter of my 12th grade

Was when my heart swayed

How did this all start

It’s like she stole my heart

She didn’t know


From a friend to a crush

Wow, what a rush

When I see her face, I can’t help but smile

To see her, I’d go lengths, even miles

She didn’t know


As we grew closer

My feelings grew deeper

Each passing day, is another day with her

This was my first love

She didn’t know


Her eyes were deep, marvelous, and brown

I couldn’t help but stare down

She's so bright, you could mistake her for a star

It’s like she just past Mars

These feelings for her, she didn’t know I had them


I love how she makes me feel

How innocent she is

I love how she's smart, beautiful, funny and kind

How she lives everyday like nothing could go wrong

She still didn’t know


Time flew by, the school year is already at its end

We won’t see each other anymore

I don’t know if I can comprehend

I wonder if she cares


After months, we are parting ways

Just once, I wish I kissed her

There’s no one like her in the whole wide world, I love her

I don’t think she knows, and now she never will

Her name is Anne

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This poem is about my first love, and how I wasn't able to tell her about it. I still regret it to this day, not telling her how I feel. This was my first ever poem that I wrote, outside of school so I am ready for a heavy dose of crititism. Please don't be too harsh.
