If you were an animal,
You’d be a peacock,
Dazzling everyone
Around you with your
Intoxicating beauty.

If you were a horse,
You’d be a white stallion,
A perfect combination of
Intoxicating beauty and
Unbeatable brawn.

If you were a painting,
You’d be one by Michelangelo,
Because only one as
Talented as him could ever
Make a painting with such
Beauty and meaning
With a single brush and a
Variety of colors.

If you were a book,
You’d be one I couldn’t put down,
Whose pages filled with knowledge
Would intrigue me and make me
Want to search for eternity
Until I found your meaning
Hidden within each page.

If you were a word,
You’d be perfection,
Because with your
Flawless mind and body,
There is no word
That fits you better.

Hi, you said with your picture perfect smile
And your intoxicating brown eyes,
Your arms outstretched in my direction,
Waiting to grasp onto your best friend,
Finally back from the horrible war in Iraq
Which I had so luckily survived
Without a single scratch.

Sorry, I said (I had thought about you 24-7
In my camouflaged colored tent,
Piecing together anything I could remember about
Your charming face, like your exquisite
Black hair, Smoother than my
Baby brother’s bottom which was just
Thoroughly rubbed with Vaseline. 
I was afraid; afraid of letting you
Jump into my arms, and suddenly losing control
Of my feelings and emotions and holding you
So tight you would be desperately
Gasping for breath while I smiled
And closed my eyes, knowing you would always
Be there for me since I would never let you go;
I would never want to leave you) while turning
Around in shame listening to the faint sound
Of her tears hitting the ground beneath her.

We haven’t talked in
A couple of weeks,
With me leaving any room
You are in, ignoring all of the
Phone calls on my cell,
And you still don’t get any reason
Why I’m doing all of this,
Do you?

I made something for you, I said
Stopping you in an empty hallway at school,
Handing you a sheet of paper
From my back pocket, watching you read it
With sweat pouring down my face
Uncontrolably.

Oh, you replied lightly
S you tried to keep the overwhelming amount of
Disgust and suprise locked inside,
Not wanting to hurt my
Supposedly fragile feelings.

Ok, I said (Every day since two weeks ago
I’ve been staying up until two o’clock secretly
Under my covers with a flashlight
Brainstorming on my only ticket into your
Lovely but complex heart which has been
Tormenting me since the moment I met you and imagined you with me for eternity) as I slowly Got up and walked down the hallway with
Unnoticable tears running down my face.

She’s gone;
Been blown away
Like a leaf in the breeze.
I wish I could hve told her
Before she left me
Forever.

I’m such an idiot.
I kept it all bottled up inside.
I should of let it out,
Should of let my emotions
flow out of my heart
like crystal clear water
going down a stream.

I wish I could bring her back.
I’d hold on to her
with all of my strength
So no matter what
I’d always be
with the one I love.

I wish.
