He knew
She was to good for him
But he hoped
She'd see past his flaws
To the person he really was
To his heart
To his soul
He hoped one day
He could carry her away
But knew in his heart
It could never be
He was the shy quiet one
While she was out going and social
She was the cheerleader
He was not even a jock
They seemed so different
It seemed hopeless
Still he wanted to be a part of her life
He watched her date jerk after jerk
Getting her heart broke every time
He knew he could treat her better
He knew he would treat her right
Still while she was always in the light
He hid
Holding his feeling
Afraid of sounding stupid
Afraid of being laughed at
He hid
He loved her
He longed to be with her
He also knew
She was everything
Popular
Outgoing
Smart
He was nothing

Sad isn't it this chap seems to be in a lot of poems i read on here. You brought out his dilemma here. I love to meet him and ask what have u got to lose ? go up and ask her out, she'll never notice you if u just keep hiding.
Give her a rose one day and tell her "i just wanted to give you something beautiful".
Thank you
Thanks TONY ~ we inherit our personalities: Introvert ~ Neutral ~ Extrovert from our Parents GENES (you can't chose your Birth Parents !) and Society does shape and reshape a little but not much. An extrovert Girl usually chooses a JOCK which leaves your "Subject" in limbo ! However I have known some really WILD GIRLS to choose a nice quiet steady Guy (like me !) because we give them stability ! SO there is some hope for your SAD SACK but only if he sheds his shell and puts himself about ! Yours BRIAN
Thank you
Isn't this how the story always goes in reality, or in literature. It's sad. But I liked the way you wrote it. Tyfs!
Thank you
Shyness can wreck all our good intentions - hope the time came to declare his love. A sad but moving read.
Thank You
I feel for this chap - deeply moving write Tony
Thank You
Unrequited love painted so well in your poem. The longing for her love practically jumps off the page.
I like it a lot.
Thank You
seems to me you've gotta boost your self confidence
Thank you
There are many occasions like this, if only they would ask, the worse that could happen is they would answer no. Good write.
Thank you
