I wrote this poem back when I was a sophomore in High School. I was really passionate towards a girl there but I never spoke up to her and told her that I liked her and how much I liked her. Once that I got the courage to tell her that, I got turned down. We became closer friends and my feelings for her only got stronger. At this point in time, I told her that I wanted to be with her and if it wasn't mutual then I couldn't take being her friend anymore because I wanted to be more than that. This poem is called Great Hopes because you can always have great hopes, but they won't always prevail.
(Great Hopes)
When i first saw you,
I knew there was love.
Wanting to hold you gently,
Nurturing you like a baby dove.
Sometimes i thought you hated me,
Everyone knew all along.
Everytime that i see you,
I try to make it prolong.
Never wanting to let go,
Even if you say it isnt so.
I will always love you forever,
Though you say itll never.
Im tired of all this trying,
Fail after fail.
Even though I hope that,
Its me and you at the prevail.
