Summertime is full of endless surprises

You being in love with him 

While at the same time 

Being in the back of his mind and his car 

Surrounded by nothing but greenery 

You help but can’t shake that little theory 

“What if?”

Just then a whiff of him enters my nose

And my affection for him only grows 

Looking out the window and back at him 

All I’ve ever wanted is for him to ask me to swim

Inching ever so closer to his hypnotizing eyes and lips

Knowing what he does best is say lies through his endless scripts 

Butterflies and confusion battling in my head and heart

Oh how he will never know how he 

Stuck my heart with that lover´s dart

We did a poetry unit in class and this poem was inspired by one of the many times I fell for someone who did not reciprocate the same feelings I had for them. From there on out the fantasy of me and them together was broken.
