I Love Her
A Poem by Richard Broadstreet


I said I Love You,
You just stood there,
Not saying a word,
With every second that passes,
The pain inside deepens,
I Love Her, but does she even like me?
I wait as minutes pass,
And the silence is deafening,
You just stood there, not knowing what to say,
I, not knowing what to say either,

But I stare into those beautiful eyes,
And know I could stand there staring for an eternity,
Her silky hair, her shiny lips, her caring personality,
She is still silent, but I am no longer hurting,
I await words from those wonderful lips,
And I am happy just standing here before her,
She doesn't know how beautiful she really is,
Both from the outside and the inside,
I love this girl,
And I just wish that she could love me back.
