A Chance

Love Poems





You are what my heartaches for, what it cries for while I sleep.

You are what I want; yet you are what I can never have.

I’d do anything to be with you, even for just one day.

I’d risk my life just to feel your hand touch mine.

I’d give up my happiness for the rest of my life just to say I was once yours.

You make my heart jump, just by looking my way,

And when you say my name, it’s the sweetest sound I’ve ever heard.

I just wish you could see that you are what I want.

You are all I’ve very wanted.

Maybe one day you’ll finally understand my request.

Maybe then you’ll understand my misery.

I just wish that you could see…

All I want is a chance.


Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this about a friend of mine.  He really cares about this girl but she won't give him a chance.

I like this poem Laura. I know how it feels being in the situation of your friend, it's difficult and lonely. Also, I love the way you expressed his feelings and thoughts.
