Array ( [sid] => 77402 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Prevailing [time] => 2004-12-27 17:43:08 [hometext] => This is everything that happened between me and this guy from day one til present...It's really long, but it's my favorite poem. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. [bodytext] => I thought I had you, from day one
I guess that was me, just thinking dumb.
You followed me out of class, and swept me right off my feet
Never would I think, you could achieve such a feat.
When we hung out, that one amazing night
Never did I want, to let you out of my sight.
We fit together, like hand in glove
And that’s when I realized, I had fallen in love.
I thought you wanted me, as much as I wanted you
But who was I fooling, that just wasn’t true.
You were oblivious to my feelings, you had no clue
And when it all had hit me, I became so blue.
You turned around, and wanted me just as a friend
I thought and cried, and knew this would soon end.
So we were friends, for only a short period of time
And that’s when I knew, you truly weren’t mine.
I asked you to hang out, and you then had said
I’m with someone else, what we shared is now at an end.
So I called you up, to say my goodbyes
And hung up the phone, with tears in my eyes.
Only some time, now had passed
That only moved, nowhere near fast.
And one more time, you were a friend of mine
I mean you’re the one, who asked online.
So I gave you another chance, at being my friend
And told you if it didn’t work, it would definitely end.
Matter of fact, we did stay friends
But only because, I had a boyfriend.
Surprise, surprise, I cheated on him
As soon as the lights, in my room, grew dim.
After a while, we just lost touch
So I didn’t think, I meant that much.
As you have it, I eventually moved on
And so my feelings, I thought were gone.
At last I had reached, a peaceful state of mind
Where I didn’t need anyone, else to be mine.
I was all settled, studio, books and work
Only to realize, thoughts of you lurk.
We experienced a great night, most definitely of firsts
In which our love, did nothing but thirst.
But you still suppressed, your true feelings inside
Only the Lord knows, how to get you on my side.
Because my feelings, for you are so deep,
Thoughts of you make me, unable to sleep.
I wish I could say, that you are all mine
Because I know, I’d be on cloud nine.
But I am not sad, or down, nor blue
Because our feelings, I know are true.
I will be here, for you by your side
Because it’s my heart, I know I will abide.
My intentions are now, to stop the stressin’
Because I know, you’re the one I’m sexin’.
You can’t be, the one that’s afraid
I need you to be, the one that is brave.
Why don’t we take, the step that comes next
For already you know, I’ll always be your best.
I know you think, our friendship would be lost
But I think we could gain, much more than its cost.
I don’t want to rush, or push you away
Because what I want, is for you to stay.
The only thing I can do, is hope, dream, and pray
While there’s a body missing, next to where I lay.
It’s been weeks, and no longer it is missing
For you body, is the one that I am dissing.
I’m tired of your games, for that is all you like to play
I now have moved on, and am looking towards brighter days.
I’m done with listening, to all of your lies
And it’s about time, to say my goodbyes.
I’m also ready, to have you out of my life
And feel real sorry, for the woman who’s to be your wife.
I’m sorry it had, to end this way
But that’s what happens, when you play how you play.
I wish you much happiness, in the years that follow
Because I have someone, who doesn’t make me feel hollow.
Whether or not, things may fall apart
I will always have, a place in his heart.
Even though I have, something with this guy,
I see you on the street, and want to cry.
You see me, so you come over to say “Hi”,
And of course apologize, for all of your lies.
So once again, we clear the air,
Because you out of my life, I just can’t bare.
One thing I know, is that I miss your lips,
And the way you make me feel, each time we kiss.
I really don’t know, what’s to come of this,
But I’ll make sure, I am the one that is missed.
For already I know, what you are like,
So I’ll try not to make, the same mistake twice.
In order for me, to finally move on,
I need to stay, extremely strong.
So surely this isn’t, our time for goodbyes,
Because if I said it, it would just be a lie.
I’m not going to say, where we are,
Because you and I, are in different places too far.
