Poetry Perhaps

From time to time I hope to post poetry on my blog. I was really introduced to poetry by my Junior Honors English teacher, but have not had the chance to write anything lately. Here is one I penned this afternoon.

Because Of You Not I...

A chance acquaintance not long ago
Your innocent laugh that caught my eye
That one moment seemed to spell forever
Shattered by you not I

Hope dangled on for weeks, even for months,
One question exists, which could have changed it all
From heaven you fell, into my life
A gift from God himself

Because of you my life was changed
Our friendship grew like spring
It was I that held back the one true thing
I wanted to tell you most.

Harbored inside, it killed me to wait
But not knowing killed me even more
Then he came along, he entered your life,
It appeared I could Be no more

Because of you my heart was broke,
Torn all up inside.
I waited and watched to see if it was true
Perhaps it was just a lie

Though short lived it was, it still made a point
On that List I was not meant to be
For if it had been, you’d see me as I saw you,
a person to be with me

Only God will know what could have been,
Only time will tell
Until that time we meet with him
I hope we can exist as friends.
