Ryan Ham Poet Rhyme

When Our Eyes Met

Our eyes met in the hall
And I thought I might fall 
My heart lept inside my chest
That would be my nerves at their best
“How is that possible” I thought
For one human to look that… hot

Then my jaw dropped…
My knees locked
And my heart stopped 
there was a girl with him
And they just hugged, what a sin

WHO IS SHE!?!? I screamed
And you wouldn’t have believed
No you wouldn’t have believed how many eyes were then on me
And so I simply said hoarsely
“Can you forgive me?”
And she… she looked at me and said, “I can, but can he?”
Then it hit me like a semi at full speed
Or a fast and furious fire lit on dry milkweed...
His family was in town, she’s his cousin, 
And I’m the girl whose face was not one shade of red, but a dozen
