I Love You From Afar
Make my heart ache …
Poetry cycle – My Teenage Years
Poetry I wrote in high school
I see you each day,
I smile at you
and your eyes looking at me,
make my heart ache,
knowing that I can only –
love you from afar.
I touched your hand the other day,
my foolish heart burst in happiness.
I smiled at you and you smiled back.
How do I tell you –
I love you from afar?
Today I foolishly waited for you by the door,
you passed by holding hands with another girl.
I saw the love in your eyes,
my heart broke from –
loving you afar.
I am a poet and writer. I write for many different sites online. I have two published books of poems on Amazon - Poetic Thoughts Fly and On the Wings of Love.

Brings back memories Rasma. Well penned and expressed of days long gone, for me. Lol
Glad it brought back memories. That was me always carrying my heart on my sleeve and a pen and notepad jotting down all of my joys and heartaches.
Memories of high school loves … often heart breaking. This is such a sweet and melancholy poem, Rasma. Nice work.
Thank you Phyllis. It even amazed me at how deep my emotions ran at that time. I will post some more teen poems.
Like Phyllis and Tony mentioned, this reminded me of a sad high school romance, when those feelings start to become real and you can feel your heart slightly break. I wish i knew then what i know now. Good piece Rasma.~Paul
Thank you Paul. It was my way of getting through the emotions and heartbreaks of my teen years. Better in poetry than bottling it all up.
