What Happened... Poem by Lizelle 'Leasel' Martins

What Happened...

Rating: 4.5


We met like any other...
Nothing strange or weird about it
But somehow I started to feel things that I should not be feeling
Oh it was a strange feeling, good and exciting at the same time
I tried so hard to play down all my feeling I had and at a point I thought I had
But you kept appearing in my head....was my heart playing tricks again with me

I tried to tell you how I felt...but no words came
You asked me if I did...I said yes
But you never said how you felt
Strangely enough it never bothered me
Coz you promised you would the next time we met
But on our next meeting...you didn’t say anything
I didn’t ask you...or I didn’t want to know

But still we continued
You made me laugh
You brought joy to my heart
You had awaken something in me I thought had died
I felt again...
I.....

But sadly our differences drew us apart
We just couldn’t work it out
We tried...I tried to assure you...but nothing

You were everything I didn’t know I wanted
I never asked for you
I didn’t ask to feel the way I do about you
But I do
I wish you could take my feeling and just throw it away
I am not suppose to feel like this
Not about you

I hate the fact that you could and can make me feel like this
It seems like you have such a hold on me
I miss you so much...
I can’t even say those words without tears rolling down my cheeks
You don’t even talk to me

I miss my friend
I miss you so much
The late night chats
The mails
The messages
The sound of your laugh
Your arms around me
Your love and support
Your smile
Your words of encouragement

I guess I don’t know what to make of this
I don’t know if I will be able to say “Goodbye” yet
But I hope I will soon...coz I can’t stand all this pain
I don’t think you are aware...but you were a big part of me

I miss you
I really miss you..
