Love Poem: Jessica

Jessica

Jessica, the girl I used to know,

Why do I never see your face,
But still we talk most every day,
And yet have not a word to say?

Jessica, the girl I know too well,

You can say you've turned over a new leaf,
But I know which kind, and it brings me grief,
Your bad habits beggar all belief,

Jessica, the girl I'm still associated with,

People tell me how you are,
And when they saw you in a bar,
As if you are a movie star,

Jessica, the girl I never see,

The picture of you on my wall
Cannot my heart and mind enthrall,
But I see it more often than you call,

Jessica, the girl who span my life around,

We used to sneak round classroom doors and kiss,
Still those times I sorely miss,
And every day I reminisce,

Jessica, the girl I've fallen for,

You'd think my feelings would subside,
Considering how long they were denied,
And still I keep them all inside,

Jessica, the girl I can't forget,

No matter wherever you go,
In my heart you'll always glow,
So my love will steadily grow,

Jessica, the girl I'm wasting for,

A dozen boys I could have had,
And although others think me mad,
For you always I'll wait, with a smile hopeful and sad.
