Did You Notice Me?

I have no idea why, but the phrase "Did you notice me?" popped into my head during church, and then I randomly thought: acrostic poem.

I just sat down and spilled out this poem. This is (really) off the wall for me since I can't ever write a poem for school, but this poem is actually kind of working for me.

Did You Notice Me?

Did you notice me?
I was simply standing there
dying on the inside.

You walked by me without a word.
Old memories floated
up into my head.

Names of old flames flash by but
only yours stays.
Times have changed and
I and you are different.
Cautious dates after school had led to
elusive rendezvous.

Months passed before
everything changed.

I never got to say that I was sorry.

A moment, only one, passed before
my life ended.

So much needed to be said but
only that gun said anything.
Reasons... there are no reasons.
Running away was easier than seeing
you hurt.

Did you notice me?
My memory waited there, longed to feel you.

I am sorry.


Hmm...
