as i look around these halls.
i see my friends.
i see them with each other.
i can tell they are happy.
then i see another friend; and she is with him,
they are in "love".
until the world around them crashes down
they crash into reality,
suddenly cold and alone.
afraid of what is to come,
but they had happiness even if it was fleeting.
i haven’t had the kind of happiness they shared.
the bliss of knowing someone cares for you and loves you,
they love you for reasons that may never be explained.
yet i walk through these halls alone
everyday i see this unattainable bliss, this perfect little moment.
i envy my friends, my family, the world,
because they have someone
i have only those laughing voices in my head.
i wrote this freshman year because that was when i still wanted to date and thought i had to have a boyfriend. i've always liked this poem...i don't know why. i guess i like it cuz it means many things to me at least. well anyway i like some parts and not others. but i thought i'd post it and get other people's opinion, besides my school's lit. magazine, i already submited it to them. ::rolls eyes:: anywho, comments are welcome.
