Chocolate Paper, Chocolate Scribbles

NOTE: People, this poem is NOT BASED ON MY LIFE. I just blended reality with a flourish of fantasy. It’s a product of imagination.

Confused

When he passes by the hallway,
All I wish is for him to stay
He looks at me, I feel butterflies
But I couldn’t raise my eyes

Because I don’t know what I want

Pages of my notebook are scribbled with poetry
It’s like he’s all that interests me
Writing down the words my heart longs to scream
But I don’t admit they’re dedicated to him

Because I don’t know what I want
The next thing I know, he calls me on the phone
Surprised, locked up in my room, alone
The girls in school undoubtfully envy me
But I just smile and laugh along in glee

Because I don’t know what I want

I almost got him down on his knees
Waiting for a “yes” to come out of my lips
But I stepped back and said, “I don’t know”
“It’s getting late… I have to go”
Because I don’t know what I want
My friends say I take him for granted
And I should have kissed him that night instead
But I couldn’t deny that I believe he’s my prince
He’s a major reason why my world’s turnin’.

Because he’s all that I want.
