Saying it too late

His eyes no longer haunting,
his smile no longer great.
His hair no longer perfect.
Himself, I've come to hate.

I gave him all the hints,
I guided him through the clues.
But he turned the other way,
and it was me who he didn't choose.

I loved him very dearly,
his words I've come to love.
But instead of choosing a girl like me
he chose that "angel from above".

Maybe I just envy her,
because she is his date.
Or maybe I love him still,
although I chose to say it late.

I hope that people can relate to my poem. I hope that when teenagers read this, they have that feeling that makes them realize that they are not alone when being too shy.
My poem is a real life experience, where I really liked this guy (although I never had the courage to tell him) and he seemed to be perfect for me. We talked all the time, until suddenly, he just left me for someone else. I realized that I should've said "I love you" a little too late.
