I Tried

I tried not to look at him
at his deep brown eyes

I tried not to smell his cologne
not to lean to close

I tried not to stare
those ocassions were rare

I smiled to myself
when i saw his uneven teeth

And I tried not to look at his mouth
his constanly parting lips

I tried to hear what he said
no sound reached my ears

I tried to stop my pounding heart
my ramblings and my fears

I tried to keep away
tried not to sway

But nothing could have stoppped us then


I wish i had tried harder
to stop what followed
to melt that feeling
to freeze the moment
and steal the second
when your lips touched mine
and stirred my soul
sealed as one
we promised to stay forever and always.

And then one fine day
you became you
and all that was left was me
i still tried to save "us"
but it wasn't meant to be


Now,Im reminded of that day,
when i tried to look away
just one thought makes me sader
I should have tried harder.
