Impossible Love
A poem by Lizzy Pacem, written in late 2019 on reflection of the previous few years.
I
Saw him,
And I could
Not stop staring.
I knew it was wrong
Because he was with my
Friend and I was with someone
Else, so I shoved it deep, deep, down
Inside myself and forgot about
It. I got a text from him. He wanted
To see me in a new shirt I had just
Bought, and he called me beautiful the
Way my boyfriend didn't... and the
Way no one else did. I pushed
It down, shut it up. I
Met up with him at
His girlfriend's house
To enjoy
The new
Year
With
Friends... like
I never
Had before... and
To get over a
Grueling heartbreak when my
Boyfriend slept with my classmate -
When the guy I loved for eight long
Months cheated on me the whole time, and
I was played more often than poker in
Vegas. He comforted me in a way
I never knew possible, but
He was with my friend... and I was
Heartbroken... and it was wrong.
In May, I discovered
That he could cook like
Hell's Kitchen and
Sing like an
Angel,
And
Once
Again,
I was quite
Enchanted; but
He was engaged to
My friend, and it was wrong.
In September, he sent me
A text. She had left him alone -
And devastated - for another
Guy. I met up with him to hang out and
Help him through a rough patch, just as he had
For me in January. Then, in
October, I went on a date...
And he kissed me, and the world
Stopped moving, and the whole
Population froze
To watch as two
Hearts started
To beat
As
One.
As the
Totally
Impossible
Happened to me. In
November, both of our
Families gathered around
To celebrate Thanksgiving while
We laughed and talked and flirted around
The table. In December, we kissed each
Other under the mistletoe and rocked
Around the tree like I never had
Been able to before. Then, in
January, I got to
Celebrate the greatest,
Happiest New Year
I had ever
Had. Then, in
The cold
And
Wet,
Dark and
Busy of February, I had my very
First Valentine's date with
The most perfect match to my
Soul I could've ever asked for.
In March, he turned into the tallest
Leprechaun I had ever seen - with his
Red hair shining and spots of silver mixed
With his glistening multicolored
Eyes that captivated my own.
In April, he was my own
Easter Bunny, and in
July, our kisses
Competed with
Every
Firework
Show
In
The whole
Nation. In
August, the heat
Of the summer paled
In comparison to
The heat that was shared between
Us. In September, I was the
Luckiest woman in the world to
Have this wonderful man take my hand and
Ask me to marry him. When I said yes,
His tears of joy matched mine and my heart,
And that very night, I knew what
It meant to make love with the
One person you can't live
Without like I could
Never even
Imagine.
And then,
In
The
Chill of
October,
After a sweet
Year of us being
Together, we became
Parents to a young man who
Needed us. In a year, my whole
World shifted, and I wouldn't have it
Any other place than where it is now.
