One of a Kind


You remember the night we met?

I wasn't 18 yet.

You said felt like you knew me

And how next to me you felt so groovy.

 

The second I saw you

I knew you were the one.

I was hooked to the attention.

I love you did I mention?

 

You weren't yet mine,

But I had you on my mind.

I wasn't really aware

Of your smile that was so fair.

 

We danced under the stars.

I felt like I was on Mars.

You leaned over and kissed me.

Oh how I felt so dizzy.

 

We went over to your place.

We ran like it was a race. Your girlfriend stepped out of the house.

Boy, you was quiet as a mouse.

 

I said, "Who is this?"

You said, "Someone I missed."

I said, "Who was I?"

You said, "Someone I wish would die."

 

Why did I think I was someone special?

Him and my heart tumbled and wrestled.

On that night I knew

That it was you I would always rue.

 

My heart pounded so loudly

While everyone slept so soundly.

When I left I couldn't get you off my mind

Because I thought you were one of a kind.

I never realized how much poetry could inspire someone. I found myself through writing the poetry that I have written. Poetry and music is the key to everything in my opinion. It's the key to who I am.
