I feel, you were a kid
I think, you do not deserve to play with me.
I feel, you were a teenager.
I think, you're not worth dating.
I feel, you get along with many youth.
I think, you don't deserve to have a boyfriend.
I feel, you've got a boyfriend.
I think, you love me.
I feel, you're getting married.
I think, I was going to your husband.
I feel, you're a bride happy.
I think, I'm late.
I feel, you greet me quietly.
I think, you don't greet me again.
I feel, you tremble when we embrace.
I think, I'm a coward.

I like this poem hsofyan, nice job.
To me, this poem is about a man who is a long time friend with this girl (since childhood). Although the man doesn't like her, the girl likes him. In the end (as adults), the man is contemplating because deep inside he actually loves her back but it's too late because she's with a different man.
Is it something close to that?

Great! You are almost correct in interpreting this poem.
Actually he likes ... she also likes.
This is a story about a man who followed his thinking (which is always wrong), and sacrificed his feelings. Too much of reason, to express love. While she waited, until she gave up because of age. The girl couldn't have declared her love first, that's right?
