"Nothing I Expected, More or Less"
So, here we are, back at square one all over again
How are you? Been awhile hasn't it? (I missed you...)
A few words and my carefully planned world is undone
You think it's so great to waltz back in my life
Still an idiot? Still a bitch? (Why are you back...)
Piece by piece the walls come crashing down around
Don't know quite what to think as my heart quickens
I'm after someone. Still single though? (Don't do this...)
Years of repressed memories come crashing full force
Stop causing false hopes and dreams to form in my mind
Yes, single, why? Don't get ideas. (My chest aches...)
Why won't my heart stop pounding, my breath hitches
It's been too long, too many years, too many nights
Do you want me? Yeah...I do (You bastard, I hate you...)
Five and a half years of waiting come down to this
Why, why now, runs through my confused thoughts
Don't play with me! I'm not. (I can't breathe...)
Three years ago you made me shed tears, not this time
I can not, I will not, but everything else screams YES
Why now!? I was afraid before. (Don't cry, no crying....)
Suspicions, paranoia, this will take a huge leap of faith
You've hurt me before. I should give no second chances
I think I want this. Me too. (Why is it always only you...)
God, don't make me regret this one day down the road
Where do we go from here, we have no idea what we want
What now? I don't know. (But I'll stand by you anyway…)
No plans for the future yet, but everything's okay now
The regrets are useless, that was forever ago
Out of the blue, point blank, caught by surprise
Figures. I wouldn't have it any other way…
AN: It's free verse obviously. Based on my boyfriend and me. Of course, this situation developed over the course of many days, not just thirty lines of poetry. Five and a half years of denial and nearly three years of not talking to one another…must be a record. Just trying to capture some of the insane, impulsive, and angsty emotion when you care about someone this much, even after so long. Reviews would be much appreciated. Gracias!
