Him

We sat there with the scent of food waiting through the air battling with the chatter of kids-
But yet all I could hear was his voice.

“I miss those eyes,” he told me.
I looked away as the blood rushes up from my toes to my cheeks.
I wonder what he saw in my milk chocolate colored eyes-

Adventure, sadness, curiosity, joy?
I looked back into his captivating ocean blue eyes magnified by his gold rimmed glasses
And saw a sense of longing.
The type of longing that makes you feel its presence burning into your soul.

All of our memories passed through my mind at once-
How I wish I could go back to them.
His hands intertwined with mine, his ice cold lips locking with mine, his strong voice telling the world he’s mine.

Te amo mucho mi amor- that I do.
But my biggest and greatest fear is that you won’t be able to say that too.
You make me feel special, like the only girl in the world.

But I fear you love another
And that woman is more than extremely lucky.
But I’ll forever love you, even if you aren’t loving me.

This piece is about a boy that I became friends with at a camp a year ago. We then dated after a while of knowing each other and went through a breakup. We continued to be friends then went to the same camp a year later and got to catch up on some things as well as talk to each other about significant life events. As we caught up on things, my feelings grew and I caught myself writing this poem.
