Don't drown in shallow water just because you want someone to save you.


I remember our October 

We grew close with small inside jokes

asking questions we knew the answer to just to speak

I remember our Halloween too

Though we were not together we grew close in our minds

Teasing over your terrible costume

Then flirting with me around your friends

You make me remember

You keep me thinking

I hate it

I no longer dream about the future but of what was

I no longer yearn to go to school to see you

But nonetheless I still want to

I stopped looking ahead yet I step all the same

I miss the past where I awaited the future

Where I awaited you

If I could go back even nothing changed

I’d go back just to tell you

your costume wasn’t so bad

I think the best poetry comes from personal experiences and feelings; not from what sounds the coolest or most philosophical. Just express yourself honestly.
