Waiting, Waiting...
by Leah G. (Age: 15)
copyright 12-26-2007


Age Rating: 10 to 127

 
I thought that if I held on longer,
I would sometime fall in love with you.
Here we again, face to face,
And I’m not sure what to do.

You see, it was nice to have someone like you-
Someone to belong to, someone to care.
I never had the heart to return your love,
I imagined I did, but it never was there.

Why did I make this more painful?
Why'd I try to love from the start?
I have to say I never had feelings.
Now I have to break your heart.

At the beginning it was all so great.
I had never had a person like you.
But after a while, I discovered,
I didn’t feel what I thought I knew.

I couldn’t accept that I didn’t feel love.
After all, we both thought I could.
I held on longer, to see if it would come.
I should have known that it never would.

I thought that if I tried hard enough,
I could eventually enjoy that kiss.
All I had to do was wait some more
But these childish actions were amiss.

I held too long: waiting, waiting...
Doing whatever it might take.
But now I know I’ve tried too hard
And you’re just one big mistake.

I’m sorry.

I think one of the hardest things for any of us to admit to, is that we have, in fact, made a mistake. And not only hurt ourselves but maybe someone else in the process. But the question remains, "What caused the attraction to begin with, that caused the idea that love would eventually bloom and blossom into a reality. Your poem leaves us with that consideration. As it should have. This is fairly straight-forward writing, but at the same time creates little subtleties that need answering. Not by you, but by the reader. You did your job. And did it well. ^^

Leah, do you know the Bonnie Raitt song, "I Can't Make You Love Me"? Your poem tells the other side of the story very nicely. Well done.
