Teen Love Poems & Teen Poetry

Open Door

I haveopened up that door again
I knew I shouldn't, thought I wouldn't
But for once, my heart decided for me
Now I stand outside, gazing in
Longing to run into your arms
Wanting to tell you of my love for you
Needing to let you know that the last time
Was the last time that I will ever let you go

I am paralyzed, however
I can't bring myself to profess my desires
I fear holding your gaze
I am afraid that if I do, you will see my heart
And how it longs for you
So instead, I remain standing... outside
We chat like two old friends
Never daring to speak of then
Refusing to consider the possibilities of tomorrow
