I'm worth waiting for

I wrote this poem 7 years ago, when I unintentionally fell for a close friend. His gf was a close friend too, but since I've know the guy since I was young, we've got more years of friendship than the gf, whom I just met when I was in college.
I was browsing my old files here on my PC and found this Word Doc entitled "wait for me"
I fell for him because he was really nice and sweet that time. Only to find out (just recently) he actually had a feeling for me but can't tell me because of the "friendship" we're into.
So during our sweet days of friendship, there came a time that I decided to push him away and we parted ways.. That was 2005..We always see each other on occasions and church gatherings but pretended not to see each other. Whenever he speaks to us in a group, I pretend not to hear him same as he doesn't hear me when I talk.
We only talked again just last October 2011 when he asked me to do a special favor for him. So without talking about our past, I gave him a smile and said.. "sure. what is it?.. any favor you ask me, ofc I'd do it to a dear buddy like you.. i think i miss you a little" (lol)... then he answered.. please do my wedding invitation.. I have a new gf, and I got her pregnant during our 2nd month.. (aww!) But i felt nothing. I've moved on and finally we ended as friends :)
Read if you have spare time. thanks =) sorry for the grammar, I was younger then..
“I'm worth waiting for”
I say life is so unfair
Because I love someone
who doesn't care
He’s been on my mind
every hour, everyday
And just close to him
is where I want to stay
I have never felt this way before
And seeing him always
makes me love him more
'He’s so insensitive'
'He’s such a dumb'
But because of him
I have become a numb
My friends tell me
he doesn't deserve me
And that he’s just a nothing,
a nobody maybe
These words got stuck inside my mind
Yet still I admire him
with reasons I can’t find
I remember all these years that passed
So now I truly disagree with
'1st impression never lasts'
For long ago
he’s just a silly friend
But look at me now with heartaches so hard to mend
Was it because he’s very nice?
Or maybe just
of his twinkling eyes?
Could also be his gentle voice?
That makes me say,
'He is my choice! ”
Another maybe
is his loving gesture
That made me felt
I’m a special treasure
But honestly I really don’t know
The innermost reason
why I like him so
As far as I can remember
it happened really fast
For just a night,
how flattering it was
That time he’s just
my old time pal
And I for him was a simple gal
I just stayed with him
to talk for a while
But looks like I got drown
with his crazy smile
Next thing indeed was a history
That I had even wrote on my diary
I’m supposed only
to comfort him
Because I guess that’s his saddest night
that I've ever seen
I cheered him up
to ease his pain
Shame on me now,
the one in vain
At first I thought
I was just confused
With this feeling inside
that is about to boost
I said that I just pity him so bad
Now falling for him was the hardest thing I had
Can’t believe that liking him would be possible
I think about him
above almost all
All the stupid favors
he had asked me to do
Are done at my pleasure
just for him to like me too
But how come I’m not
treated the same?
Is there something about me
he is to be ashamed?
Or still the reason is
his former love,
which still brings him back
to the feelings they have?
I get jealous
when they’re together
Although I know
they are official lovers
What pain it brings
when they are happy
Though I’m the one who teases them
with a heart crying silently
How joyous I am
when they broke up
All those following days,
I laughed and laughed
Then a hope grew deep inside my heart
That finally in his busy life
I’ll have a part
Still I was treated just the same
And if ever I’ll be his girl would be just a game
Meaning, he is truly a fool
Doesn't he know the golden rule?
I tried to ignore
the feeling inside
When I see him comes
I try to hide
Still this move doesn't help a lot
For I can’t resist
the feeling of craving I got
Another thing that bothers me again
Is that if he and his ex
are really insane
After all the hates
and the cursing words
Their back to the love scene
that made me bored
Their back again to give me pain
Yet I’m the only one
who is to be blame
For nobody knows what I’m going through
That I get hurt to see those two
Until now I promised to treat them right
As sweet as possible
just not to start a fight
A ready-to-listen- friend to the girl I envy
And for the guy I love,
a comforting -dependable- martyr,
a 'girlfriend wannabe' maybe
I don’t know when this sacrifice would last
I just want to let
the heavy days move fast
Maybe by that
I’ll easily move on
And just try to make our relationship as FRIENDS
be strong
Would you now agree?
I was treated wrong
I’m taken for granted
by the one I long
I have loved him so
with all honesty
But what happened to me now was all but a misery
Now I want to be hurt no more
Because I have this few words for you boy,
'I’m worth waiting for'…
-but he didn't wait for me :p maybe another guy will! LOL

Wow! It is really amazing what love can do to a person. It can turn you into a Shakespeare in no time. I also did write poetry for my crush when I was in high school. I was inspired by my broken heart and unrequieted love.
By the way. Lovely poem. You should do some minor copy reading and share it to the world.

Hi Meowchie! Don't hope you'd get broken again. Instead of a broken hearted poem try a poem of being so much in love. Yes I still have some of my poems. I'm planning to post it here too. Inspired by you of course.

Oh, I love your poem meowchie! Hmmm. You were a martyr 7 years ago. LOL. We learn from our heartbreaks, right? When we love, we should not be afraid of getting hurt. To love and to get hurt alway go together. We can feel if something isn't right so we should anticipate some things to happen so that when the time comes, we won't feel that pain so much. We have to control our emotions. We should be tough. Do you have a boyfriend now? Happy mylotting.

Started that poem April during our youth camp.. :) Finish it January the next year.. it was like a diary to me.. the paragraphs are done in each month :))

Hi,
So its an outpouring of feelings in free verse. Maybe it should get into one of the textbooks of English Literature in the Philippines.
I am a free verse writer myself but I have abandoned it for more cynical and technical aspects of writing way back during my university days. Maybe I should reconsider, that is, if I have the time.
Beautiful piece of work, really.

Wow, what could I say other than, you are a lovely poet. You have all the worth in this world, but the guy you secretly admired, doesn't. Wishing you all the best.
