Dear you.Yes you. Part 2 Poem, by Lil-M-M, at My poetic side

What do I have to do to get you to notice me?
Change my hair, the way I walk?
My clothes, the way I talk?
We've known each other for some time now,
Yet I'm still invisible to you.

Dear you.Yes you.
My feelings run deep and how
I wish you only knew.
I see your face every time I close my eyes.
To me, you just seem so different from the other guys.
To you, I'm just a friend,

Dear you.Yes you.
Nothing more, nothing less.
I settle for friendship in the end
Because I don't want to make a mess.
Instead, I'll keep my secret to myself
And take my pride back off the shelf.

Dear you.Yes you.
Until one day you finally see
That you and I were meant to be.
I'll wait for now but not too long
Because sooner or later I'll be gone.
So when will you notice me?

Your smile makes me smile,
Your laugh makes me laugh.
Your eyes are enchanting.

Dear you.Yes you.
You make my thoughts seem daft.
Since the day I first laid eyes on you,
My feelings grew and grew.
In that first conversation, my knees clicked and clacked,
And those butterflies flipped and flapped.
Dear you.Yes you.
And as I spill these simple rhymes,
My mind goes over time and time.
Why didn't you ask me to dance
During that slow song of endless romance?
Dear you.Yes you.
I hope this doesn't seem to creepy.
Please don't think my thoughts have flown too freely.
Just know that what I speak is true
And that I have fallen deeply for you.

Dear you.Yes you.

Everything was simple,
Everything was fine.
I knew I couldn't have you,
And I knew why.
Dear you.Yes you.
I tried to move on.
I dated other guys,
But then when we'd hang out,
I knew I had lied to myself.
Dear you.Yes you.
You noticed me drifting.
You said, "Please explain,"
But I didn't want to lose you,
So I tried to deal with the pain.
Dear you.Yes you.
It's hard to be with you.
It gets harder each day.
When I look into your eyes,
I feel my body floating away.
Dear you.Yes you.
I miss the way it used to be.
You don't feel the change.
You don't know I really love you.
I'm sure to you, it's just a game.
Dear you.Yes you.
As I close my eyes tonight,
I'll pray as I was taught to do.
I'll pray that you realize that
I love you but I can't have you.

Dear you.Yes you.

Just so we're clear,
there's a reason why you're here.
You are here so I can have
the greatest gift and I'm so glad.
But just so you know,
I want you to see
how much you truly mean to me.
Dear you.Yes you.
Let's see, how should I start?
First, let's talk about the way you affected my heart.
I can't think straight when you are near,
For I am blinded with fear.
Dear you.Yes you.
The fear of you finding out
what I'm trying so hard to hide.
My feelings for you
are staying locked up on the inside.
Dear you.Yes you.
Sometimes you make me want to sing,
sometimes you make me want to shout.
All I know is
when you're around,
I get butterflies.
Dear you.Yes you.
I wonder how you feel
if anything I'm feeling is real
or is this all a dream?
Please God, put me out of my misery.
Dear you.Yes you.
Because surely I must be dreaming
because, you are a dream
of perfection in every way
Dear you.Yes you.
The way I feel about you,
I cannot even begin to say.
Dear you.Yes you.
Are roses always red?
And do violets have to be blue?
But the one true thing I know
is that
I'm in love with you,
Dear you.Yes you.
not because of your looks
even though that's partly it.
I love you for what's inside,
and hopefully one day, you'll be all mine!

Dear you.Yes you.

I know, I might not seem your type.
But here we are, can't you give it a try?
If truth be told, I've been lost most of my life.
I'm the bird with the broken wing.
All I'm looking for is love.

Dear you.Yes you.
Aren't you looking for the same thing?
I wouldn't hurt you,
For I've been hurt before.
Went to battle, but I lost that war.

Dear you.Yes you.
Now, I hope I ain't scaring you off.
It's just, I don't want to get hurt no more.
Knock, knock,

Dear you.Yes you.
Can you let me in?
I've been standing a while at this door.
Only asking.
Here I am, just wondering,
Can you let me in?
It seems, if you can't hear me,

Dear you.Yes you.
So I'm ask again,
Can you let me in?
Listen, love doesn't ask,
It just happens.
Here we are,

Dear you.Yes you.
So what's happening?
Can you let me in?
It's cold out here.
I'm freezing.
I'm stabbed and I'm bleeding,
But I know you can start my healing.
I'm feeling for you,

Dear you.Yes you.
I'm thinking of you.
A wise man once told me,
"That's how it starts."
Can you let me in?
Can't you hear me?
I said, your heart.
Knock, knock

Dear you.Yes you.
Can you let me in?

And let me show you how loyal I can be.
