Thinking of you...

Before you, my life was always stressed.
Each day I would be depressed.
Most times I would sit and cry.
And think of ways I could die.

Every time I see you in the hall.
I'd think of the times that you'd call.
Now I think of our time together.
My cares were light as a feather.

Sitting in class thinking of you.
And every time it makes me blue.
A lot of memories we have had.
Some of them make me mad.

I remember the times we'd flirt.
Now we're apart and it really hurts.
I will always treasure the time we had.
Even the times we were mad.

I'll never regret the days we shared.
And I'll never forget the times you cared.
If it wasn't for you I'd never known love.
Except the love God sends from above.

I thank you for helping me.
Forever grateful I will be.
But now my life is empty again.
Hopefully we can still be friends.

There's not much to say about this poem other than I wrote it after breaking up with my ex. I was seventeen when I started dating him and he was my first boyfriend, ever. Most can't believe that but it's true. I'm twenty-two now and I've only ever had one boyfriend. Honestly I think it was just something I had to experience for myself, considering I'd always sat on the sidelines while my friends dated. I was the one they turned to for advice b/c of it. But that's ok. Having a boyfriend isn't really that big of a deal to me. Right now I'm focusing on school and saving up money to get out of this country when I graduate from North Ga Tech.
