Valentines Day Poetry Contest Submission: Diamond Bowman 12th

Oluchi Ike, Staff Writer

Girl      My head resting on his chest
I can feel the rhythm of his heartbeat
……
Boy      Looking up at me
I can see all of eternity in her eyes
……
Girl      My heart is racing
But his soft touch leaves me motionless
……
Boy      Her head is heavy on my chest
Then suddenly we breathe as one
……
Girl      He holds me tight, his arms so strong
I feel my muscles relax in the serenity of it all
……
Boy      I wake up
……
Girl      I wake up
……
Boy      I look over my shoulder
and stare with a slick eye
……
Girl      I turn my head
and give him a shy glare
……
Boy      Who am I kidding
……
Girl      What was I thinking
……
Boy      She could never be mine
