You Of All People Poem by Hopeless Heart

I did not think I would feel this way,
Especially about you of all people
It’s strange you cross my mind
At random times of the day
When I think of you I smile
But I didn’t know why
I think about you of all people

When I think of you, I think…
Sadness, damage, hurt and sorrow
And yet I don’t know what attracts me to you
I can tell you aren’t as happy as you seem
You’re really not that good at hiding
I want to make you tell me everything
Everything that’s ever made you sad
I want to understand you for reasons unknown

At night when I sleep
You fill me dreams,
When I wake in the morning
I remember them all
It confuses me as to why I dream of you
Because I did not think I would fell this way
Especially for you of all people

Our situations are different
But at the same time nearly identical
I don’t know if I actually like you
Or if it’s just my sub conscience
I would like to get to know you
But we both have our own wall
Five meters thick protecting us
It keeps us away from everyone
Because of the fear of rejection
It’s funny what fear does to us

Maybe sometime soon I’ll figure it out
Maybe sometime soon we’ll talk properly
Maybe sometime soon I’ll let my wall down
Maybe sometime soon…
Maybe I should stop hoping and make it come true.
