She Thought It Could Be <br />He looks right at her, and she thinks it must be an illusion. <br />Yet still his eyes don't wander away. <br />She thinks: surely there must be some confusion. <br />She can feel her emotions beginning to lead her astray. <br /> <br />She sees how his eyes light up and how he smiles whenever she walks by. <br />She's never felt this way about someone before. <br />She feels herself finally stop being so shy. <br />These feelings make her feel so unsure. <br /> <br />She thinks she's ready to do anything to impress him. <br />He's the only one she's ever let touch her that way. <br />Little does she know, to him she's just a whim. <br />She used to swear to herself she'd never be that kind of girl, never act that way. <br /> <br />Now she walks the halls alone. <br />She's forced to realize, that all her effort was in vain. <br />She knows that her heart is surely turning to stone. <br />Nothing she does can get rid of her pain. <br /> <br />She was innocent, hadn't yet learned to be guarded. <br />Now she feels like her heart will be forever hardened.<br /><br />Amanda Yoomi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/she-thought-it-could-be/
