The Early Days - Post One

Ok, so we are going to have to split these up. My first journal dates 2000, before that the poems were just on scrap paper in a folder I bought from the scholastic book fair.
So 10 years ago.. when I was 12 was when I stated keeping track of my poems. What did I know about love then? Hell what do I know now? I can never seem to keep it together. (Thank God! I have the worst taste)
Besides what I saw in movies, love consisted of stolen glances (which I probably made up) and slow dances in the grade school gym. Not even first kisses, I was pretty square back then, my first kiss would not come for a couple of years. Back then I thought a first kiss would be earth-shattering, like off of "PS I Love You" when he says he sends out a signal for a kiss that it would be the end of life as you know it. (sorry I just watched that) I was always a bit dramatic. (ok VERY dramatic) Everyone I had a crush on back then was my "first love" If I acted now like I did then I would probably get charged for stalking, thank goodness hardly anyone had caller ID and you got in trouble from your parents for *69. Anyways, the first set of poems from these days will be love ones, next post just the general ones from then. So here you, back to 2000.

Just Thinking
Sitting and thinking what to do
Sitting and thinking all about you
The way you smile when I talk to you
And when You eat your food, the way you chew

The way your face looks when you smile
It gets me thinking for a while
About:
When we dance the way you hold me
Or when I am sad how you make me happy

I hope I'll like you until forever
You are not just one of a kind
You are a treasure
*
I Like You
You are cute, sweet and funny
Your are my friend
You are my honey

Sometimes you make me mad
But usually I am glad
Without you I’d be sad

The truth is I don’t love you
Maybe someday I will
I’m too young right now
But I like you still

I’m my worst enemy
And you are my best friends
You make my life better
I hope we never end
*
Just as long as we’re Together
The sun is shining
The sky is blue
But if it wasn’t it wouldn’t matter
Because I am in love with you

They sky could be grey
The sun could be dying
But that is okay
As long as you are mine

Be mine now
Be mine forever
The world could be gone
Just as long as we are together

Always on my Mind
He is in my dream every night
And in my dreams I hold him tight
I wake up with him on my mind
And when I think of him my thoughts are kind

I think of him in they day
And when I go to bed I only pray
That I will dream of him

Why?
Because he is always on my mind
*
When I
When I looked into your eyes
There was something there
It warmed my heart because I knew you cared

I turned away with a smile on my face
And when I saw your smile my heart began to race

When I looked into your heart then I knew
I wouldn’t stop thinking about you

When I thought of not having you
I truly shed a tear
And when I knew I could
My smile went from ear to ear

When I look into your eyes
There is something there
And it warms my heart to know you care
*
If I Could
If I could I’d give you the sun
But since I can’t let’s just have fun

If I could I’d give you the moon
But since I can’t let’s sit under it in June

If I could I would give you mars
But since I can’t let’s gaze at the stars

If I could I would change us into the doves
But since I can’t I’ll just give you my love
