...and he walked away

by Antwan Fields - Aries

i looked at him as he walked away from me
and i was reminded of how much i loved him
but i don't want our friendship to end 
its stupid, its silly, but going off willy-nilly
isn't going to help me when i tell him
he walked away, and my heart plummets 
and i re-think it and say "nah, maybe not"
but then i look again and hope has returned
and maybe this time i won't be spurned 
as i look in his direction i become afraid he'll see me looking, mooning over him like ive got a  schoolboy crush
but this is love, even though its one-sided 
i still want him, even though i had emmanuel convinced i didn't, and i am such a FUCKING 'tard
for not speaking when i had the chance
i held my peace 
and when i got up the nerve 
he turned on his heel
and walked away.
and while i feel good'
i could not feel good about this 
the fact that he just got up 
and he walked away
