Not for Me
May 2, 2010
I take in your breath-taking smile,
A dazzling sight to see -
Directed at someone who isn't me.
I look at your strong tan fingers,
So lovingly intertwined -
In a hand that isn't mine.
I hear your bold flirty comments,
That leave most in a state of shocked glee -
Said but not for me.

Yea I want to I really do! And I think about it everyday, everytime we text but I'm just so afraid that it'll ruin our friendship...
Ahw don't cry :'( A little advice - if you care about someone let them know. Even if it doesn't go how you want, at least you can stop torturing yourself with the what ifs. I did and it went terribly, but at least now we both know where we stand. Hope that helped a little? Thank ya Alana :)

I really liked this poem. One point of advice would be to simplify the first line because to me, it reads a little awkward. Other than that, really good!

I know exactly what you mean. It's worse when it's your best friend. He knows you're alive, but he doesn't really count you as a girl. I think it's so crazy they're as close as we are- if ya kno what I mean. Sucks to be us...
