Reflections Poem

[Awhislyle]

This is a poem I wrote as a junior in highschool. It was an assignment in my English class that we had to enter the Reflections competition, in which you write a story or a poem, or take a picture, or something like that. Anyway, I wrote this. Then, that same week, we were given an extra credit opportunity to go to an open house reading even at this downtown bookstore, so I went and read it there aswell. I wonder why I didn’t get to know you sooner, I wonder why I waited so long, I should have been by your side, I should have been with you every moment. At first I was afraid to meet you, I didn’t want to show you who I was, But now I feel lonely without you, And now I regret the time I wasted. Maybe we could still be together, If it wasn’t for my shyness, Maybe I wouldn’t be where I am If I had met you just one moment sooner. I spend all of my time, thinking of all the time I wasted, I spend my time thinking of what could have been, I spend my time loathing what is, I wish I could spend my time with you. But after all, I don’t think I should feel this sad, Please, don’t think of me bad, But now that I think about it I’m not so mad Well, you were sort of a crappy goldfish anyway.
