                                                                          By: Aaliyah Price


                   

                                   I didn't know that he would be the guy that I'd fall in love with

                                                       I never imagined that out of my seventeen years 

                                                   That he would be the one to cause most of my tears

                                                        I never imagined that for him being my first love

                                    That he would be the one to  take advantage of my good heart

                                                                I didn’t know how quickly I would fall apart                           

                                                                          I wish I had known how he really felt

                                                       All the times I spent with him my heart would melt 

                                                                             All the laughs and smiles we shared 

                                                                                Realizing a person can be a home

                                                                                           Feeling like he really cared

                                         I didn’t know that his hugs would mean more to me than gold

                                              I wish God would have warned me of what all would unfold

                                                               I didn’t know that I’d stay up nights for nothing

                                                                Waiting for a call, a text, waiting for something                                                                                             

                                                            I didn’t know that he would keep pushing me away

                                                                      When all I really wanted was for him to stay

                                                                                              I wish he was still in my life

                                                                  Though I’m learning to miss him less everyday

                                                                                             Every time I hear his name

                                                                                              It is really never the same

From personal experience this poem is about how I didn't know how a guy who I truly loved could hurt me so much.
