Deep in my dreams you hold me so near

But in real life, it's all much too clear.

You are just a boy hardly knowing my name.

Not knowing of the love that awaits your claim.

If you could love me as I do you.

A love that we could have, so strong and so true.

So next time I see you and our eyes meet,

Think of the ache in my heart so deep.

Because of this aching I feel down inside

I write you a poem of the feelings I hide.

I love this poem. I like how it rhymes and how it flows. I can relate to the feelings portrayed in this poem; it reminds me of when I was young in elementary school and had crushes on boys that I thought were cute.
