POEMS/Addiction...  


FINALLY US
Nov. 11, 2003

Like a fool I kept pinning
Don't know why I do
You don't seem to see me
So young and trusting
So full of disappointments

Fast forward over a decade
You step in a room unknowing
And you pull me to the past
Back when I was too naive
And hopelessly confused

Well, I can't believe thi ride we had
This giant rollercoaster you took me
On and On, running high on emotions

Fast forward a few years after
You still leave me high and dry
And I'm too tired to run and hide
Nothing left to do but face up
And head on, I'm ready to let go

Well, I can't believe what I see
All this time we've been in denial
We run far and come full circle

Well, I can't believe the pain I'd endured
All this time you've been yearning
Yet we turn away and turn back

Can't believe this rollercoaster ride we had
But I'm glad we've come full circle
'Cause in the end, there's finally us



insight This poem isn't about me. I saw this movie on cable that left me wondering: why does a person keep loving a person who doesn't even know he/she exists? There's this movie about this girl who's in love with her best friend's older bro since they were, like, five. That innocent crush grew into LOVE. He totally ignored her existence until they were late teens and even then, he kept the girl guessing whether or not he's toying with her. I didn't figure it out right away as to when exactly did the guy started falling for the girl. Falling in love really messes up a person-- okay, fine..sometimes.
