Yesterday

Shouldn't this be simple? I got my graduation ring but my mind's in a haze. Dazzled by her beauty, I can't help but stare 'cause she's never there. This day on Saturday she finally answered. I want to straighten things out with her but I might as well join the millions of rejected soldiers. You know, the ones who died from a "heart attack," the ones that were driven insane, especially the ones that feel no pain. I look back on yesterday, now today, and I find myself looking for a place called home. Conjured all of this up in my imagination but all I could do is watch her fade away. Out of my mind, out of my heart, but how do I still have a crush on her? The Lord has always been with me and my family but I've strayed away from my faith. I hope he can forgive me and lead me to her heart... wherever it may lay.

Sounds like a real heartbreaker. Never a great feeling to have been rejected. I'm sure we all can agree. Very emotional, and creative write, ~John~
