I Am The One

by Amanda Miller - Aquarius

I feel like a volcano ready to explode.
He liked me,
I was the one he wanted to hold.
This is not the way it was supposed to be.

I was too scared to express my feelings,
Now he has her.
She is the one he looks at with a smile on his face.
She is the one he charms,
But I should be the one he holds in his arms.

I feel like I'm hanging onto a limb,
I am the one who should be standing beside him.
I am the one who should be holding his hand.
I had a chance to have him but he slipped through my fingers like sand.

When he looks at me, I look the other way.
I try to pretend it doesn't bother me.
I look into his eyes and can't hide it anymore.
He knows how I feel, he's the one I adore.

He looks at me with such a sweet face
And asks if we can talk in a quiet place.
I took his hand and walked through the crowd.
Then he looked into my eyes and gave me a kiss.
No moment in my life was as perfect as this.

I put my hands to my face and wanted to cry,
Then I looked up, there she was with tears in her eyes.
As she turned to run, he looked at me with a sigh.
Then bolted after her, I felt like I was going to die.

Then as I started to walk the other way
I heard a voice behind me "Please stay"
As he took my hand, he said that he told her they were through.
Then he looked at me and "I love you!"
I am the one.

Reason for writing:

    I just love poetry.  Instead of writing in a diary I like to express my feelings through poetry.
