Past and Present
May 3, 2023
I was scared about how I felt
but now I think I know
If we can only be just friends
you might have to let me go
There’s just this thing between us
this spark
I can feel it in my heart
so I know that it must be true
Because no one has ever made me felt
the way I feel about you
You say that you like my poems
well they’re mostly about you
You said you missed me
well the thing is that I missed you too
It felt like wherever i was
I couldn’t stop thinking about you
You’re always on my mind
and you’re always so kind to me
But now I think I might be too blind to see
that you don’t want me
I thought I let go of what was
I thought I was ready to go into what will be
But now that you’re back here with me
how can I move forward if you’re not by my side
Thinking about you not being there it just feels like I want to cry
I’m not an emotional person
I normally don’t even care
but with you it’s different
I write how I feel
and the thought of never being able to write about how you make me feel is scary
Of course I don’t want to bottle these emotions up
but sometimes it’s for the better
How do I know that I won’t mess it up
how do I know that you probably don’t have another guys sweater
I want to write about how you can make me kneel
I don’t want to write about the what ifs and the maybes because then I’m just stuck thinking what could be
I want to be able to think about what would be what will be and what is
I want to think about how you and me are not what we could be because I mainly believe in what I can touch and see but if you’re not by my side then how can what you say be true
I just don’t want to stand there waiting forever to be loved by you
because the thing is i would too
Even if it took an eternity I know that no matter what moment no matter when i would be able to say I love you too but i know that’d I’d only be able to say it to you
That was the past but now we’re in the present
I know how i feel
I know that what we have is real
I’m just scared
scared of losing you
Scared of making a mistake in everything that I do
how do I know that I won’t annoy you away
How do I know that we won’t last only 1 week or a couple of days
i said that what we have is real and i’d like to believe that it’s true because with you by my side it’s this feeling that i’ve never felt
but the thing is
I don’t want this feeling to go away
all i want to do is sit here with this feeling
and not let it go
Not even for one second, not even for one day
I think i’m falling for you, that’s right i said it so now you know it’s true
and all that sits in my head what is she gonna say or do
But to be truly honest the thing that is mostly in my head is you
you’re the shining in the gold
You’re the light inside my soul
you make me feel things no has or ever will
I know what I think and what I feel are real
because i’m living in the present with you
Not the past, and this time i am going to make sure that it lasts
