REVISED VERSION

I found love on MySpace.

Wrote a poem,

‘Cause words don’t stay in place.

It started as a random add,

Friend of a friend,

And he didn’t look too bad.

No one would ever predict,

I’d fall fast, as

Our conversations clicked.

One day he leaves,

Without warning,

And I’m stuck to grieve.

We wasted the days

In shyness

And he slipped away.

Instead of asking how,

I should be glad

That he’s in paradise now,

I’ve been trying,

I swear. But my heart

Won’t stop crying

ORIGINAL VERSION

I’d like to say, “Congrats

All of my doubts

Belong in the past.”

I finally know

That you’re real.

So…

I love you,

And you

Love me too.

I’d like to meet

Somewhere nice.

But time has me beat.

I fear I’m too late.

And there won’t be

A pleasant date.

It's so much more

It's a funeral

And it's yours

We squandered the days

We could’ve spent together

And you slipped away.

I’ve been trying,

I swear. But my heart

Won’t stop crying.
