Worlds apart,
Connected only by our thoughts.
You continue to wait for me,
While I wait patiently for you.
Let us wait…together.
Tick, tock, tick, tock…
My, how the hours have flown by,
Doing nothing except messaging each other,
Just two lovesick lovers…
Staring off into the endless night sky.
It hasn’t been all daisies and rainbows, though,
We’ve had to weather storm after unbearable storm.
Yet, I have learned so much, in these past few months,
Like, how our bond can never be torn.
So, I’m not going to say that you are “the one”,
That has been done too many times before.
Instead, I want to tell our story; okay, with a few changes.
Sit back and relax…
Trust me, this will be fun…
The first time I called you, it was out-of-the-blue,
And you didn’t feel like talking.
When I frantically asked why,
Both heart broken and teary-eyed,
You told me that I was up to no good.
Apparently, there were rumors of another girl,
Bitterly, you said some rather harsh things,
You even went so for as to question my love.
Look, I will admit; I do care deeply about her, too…
But don’t forget that, in the end, I did choose you.
Anyway, reassured of my love and dedication,
Our romance grew twice as strong,
I wrote you love letters and poems,
Heck, I went so far as to write you a song…
And so, we continued on.
One day, I started hearing things about you,
How you were with some other dude…
Well, I darn near lost my mind that day,
“How could the love of my life treat me this way?”
I even heard that you two had plans of marrying,
Soul mate or not, that was the last straw.
I had no choice but to put my foot down.
In my mind, things were beginning to look grim.
“He’s the one who hurt me before” you explained,
At first, I found that very hard to believe,
But I could feel the passion in your words,
As if to say, “My heart is for you, and only you.”
Like clockwork, he came back again,
This time, however, I was ready for a fight.
“I’ll break him to pieces!” I boasted,
But your love overcame my chilling might.
Thanks to you, I slept peacefully that night.
In deep slumber, I dreamt of how we first met,
Of all places…it was on the Internet,
I found you as a member of an anime site.
Yes, I still can’t believe my luck.
Anyway, after just a few short days of talking,
We suddenly fell in love,
You became my sole obsession,
And there was nothing else that I could think of.
I didn’t care about your reputation,
You were simply perfection, in my eyes,
I was more than willing to defend your honor,
And so, I remained by your side.
You brought out the gentler side of me,
I didn’t expect to be weakened so easily.
It’s as though you had control over all of my emotions,
And yet, I was more than willing to give in.
I also recalled that time when you gave me your cell phone number.
I fell back into my seat, completely and utterly shocked!
Not to say that I had never been in love before,
It’s just that…this all seemed too good to be true.
I guess my chance at happiness was long overdue.
But enough about that dream,
I couldn’t fathom how powerful our bond was!
But then your sister just had to go and cause a fuss.
For some reason, she takes pleasure in trying to break us.
Okay, so that one text message was a little “suggestive”,
I would never force you into doing something bad,
But, unfortunately, your mom found out about us,
And then I knew…
I was as good as dead.
She was ready to put me out of my misery,
Phew! Thank goodness you saved me!
But at a cost that I couldn’t possibly forgive,
I would rather have turned myself in.
So, you without your cell phone,
Me without any Internet at home,
It seemed as though the world was against us.
Truly, worlds apart…
Connect only by our thoughts.
Somehow, though, love reigned supreme,
Our obsession grew…deeper,
And there was no doubt that you were a keeper.
So, we continued on, knowing that no one could stop us…
Our conversations switched to the future,
But we were still suffering from our own pasts,
Both of us, hurt by the ones we once loved,
Yet, I was the one who was unwilling to move forward.
When you told me that you weren’t feeling happy,
I realized just how important you are to me.
Afraid of losing you, forever,
I knew that I had to do better.
I promised that I would stop living in the past,
All that mattered was securing a bright future with you.
So, here we are today,
Still madly in love, still crazy!
It’s okay though, because when I look back on all of our pain,
I see that absolutely nothing can compare to all that I have gained.
And so, we continue on.

I told myself that I wouldn't do a poem on love for a while, but instead, I decided to tell a story about an actual relationship...my relationship: no "I want to kill myself" or any of that other garbage. I think that I'm starting to realize what it takes to be a true poet. Just because you can piece together a few rhyming lines about what a crappy day you're having, that doesn't mean that you have skills or the ability to be a poet, you know? Anyway, that's all I got.
