Poem
I loved you from the first moment I saw you running on the playground grass Michelle I raced over and grabbed your hand, when I saw you had tripped and fell Then you looked up and smiled at me And to this day, I swear, at that very moment, I heard the school bell ring And to this very day, you just don't know how much joy hearing your laughter bring When I helped you up, you kissed me on the cheek, and ran away so fast Graceful and elusive like a gazelle You always ran so fast, none of the other boys could beat you You always left us panting, out of gas But my heart never stopped chasing after you I remember the first time you invited me to your house, you didn't warn me that you had a twin sister too Isabelle and Michelle As soon as the door opened I kissed her, when I thought I was kissing you You and your sister laughed so hard I later learned that was her favorite prank And over time, I could tell who was who I could tell, as your laughter trailed away when you ran, when your feet flew Michelle, graceful and elusive like a gazelle I think deep down, you always knew how I felt about you But you always played it off, said that's what best friends say, that's what best friends do Quickly changing the subject, you would run away so fast, and I would say to myself: Maybe one day ... who knows Only time will tell Maybe tomorrow, I will catch her heart, as I toss my love down a wishing well How does a shy, and slow-to-date young boy catch a gazelle When you became grown and moved away, I was so sad When I heard you had made a good life for yourself, I was so glad When I heard you were gonna get married, I felt so bad When I heard how he had jilted you, I was so mad Michelle, graceful and elusive like a gazelle You finally stopped running from me when you realized how I cared so much But I have to thank my other best friend for always letting me know about you by staying in touch Isabelle She's the one who always picked up my broken heart, every time I chased after you and fell She's the one who made my lovesick heart mend well She's the one who told you on the first day I met her, I'm in love with him, but don't tell Isabelle, she finally caught my heart with those loving, large and lustrous eyes of a gazelle
