~I Wanted You to Stay~ In The Mood For Romance Contest Sponsor: Shadow Hamilton Walking in the hallways, day after day... That look we both locked, and since that day, I knew I wanted you... -To stay... I never believed in love at first sight... Until that day I saw you pull up, my soul in flight, Walking into school, and you walking into... my life. So young, yet so deep, Having a hard time falling asleep. Do you fantasize of me? My illusions, so intense, But there's never a guarantee. I was lost...it was you, Redeeming my unpleasant qualities. Believing my narrative emotions, Me clinging onto your devotion, Will it always be this way? I knew I wanted you... -To stay... Hands held in crowds, And kisses on my cheek, Intertwined roots growing into a lilac bush, Lavender so fresh, Scents of summer so sweet, Driving no where and everywhere, together... First date, chills up my spine, God please, forever, I've never felt so much pleasure. Classmates so jealous, Our confidence never silenced, So much older than me, Who can ever deny us? Proving them wrong, So far beneath us, Underground and all around, Before you my heart was buried, In the lost and found. All it took was one saving grace, I knew I wanted you... To stay... Created from one glance, As you walked into your class, Your jaw dropped, my heart sank, Your sincerity, hope to last, No breathing, mind completely blank, Pretending not to obsess, My never ending hour glass, You being you, me being me, Us being us, meeting by the maple tree, Could you be the one? Would you live only for me? Constructed abstract drawings, Paintings from the 1st century, Before time was clocked, And after miles we walked, My sentiment everlasting, Sidewalks full of chalk... Teenagers with eager anticipation, Future full of high expectations, You brought me such a beautiful bouquet, Oh how I hope with me... -You'll stay. Date Written: November 21, 2015
