AN: You see, there was this little poetry thing I had to for my English class. I wrote a poem (it's just a little below this author note, trust me), and handed it into my English teacher, thinking nothing of it. I thought it was a nice poem.

But I never knew it'd be such a good fanpoem if I just tweaked it a little. Now, it tells a story in itself, and now it's an IZ poem. My first poem for a fandom. Neat, huh? ^_^;

I Want You Back

It's been a week since you left
Before then, I had never known true emptiness

The overwhelming desire to find you

It almost too much to bear

But is it worth it to go after you?

I never knew what love was until I found you

But you don't feel the same way

And that is why you left.

You left because of me

And my feelings for you

I guess I should have never have told you

Though, it was bothering me, I had to say it

Like I had said it in all of my dreams

Dreams that were deftly shattered that night

I made my confession of love to you

Do you have any idea how much it hurt me?

To see the revulsion in your eyes?

To see the undisguised hate you had for me?

It was too much to bear.

I felt so bad that I had cried myself to sleep that night

I never cry, I hate crying.

It's the ultimate sign of weakness to me

I just can't wait to see you again

So I can apologize for telling you what I felt

I would to anything to see you

To hear you

To touch you

Even if it would be the simplest of glances

The softest whisper

Or the slightest touch

All that matters to me is that you come back

Where did you go, anyway?

I can't seem to find any clues.

I have to see you again

And it has to happen for real, not in a dream

Even if it's for the briefest of moments

So that my broken heart can heal

Just a little bit faster,

Just a little bit better.

I love you, and you hated me for it.

That's the thing, even though you hated me

I loved you—and I still love you

Broken hearts go away with time

But my feelings and your reactions to them,

Will never go away

So maybe I should just end it all

For these things will drive me insane with sadness

A sadness I can never be able to bear

If I learn to ignore them, maybe I can go on

But how does one go about that?

Forgetting about their unrequited love?

The simple answer is that you can't.

You just learn to live with it

But I still want you back

I still want to see you

Maybe I will, and if I do

I will be looking forward to it.

All I can do is hope

Hope that I see you

Hope that you might understand

And I hope, most definitely, that you just talk to me

It's a lonely place here

Without you to fight with

And if you don't come back,

I'll find you, to see you one more time

To hear your voice one more time.

I want you back, and I don't care if you don't love me

I just want you back

And if you do come back, I'll never let you go

I can't even stand the thought of losing you twice

Even if it is just a thought

I want you back, Zim

And I'm praying with all my heart

That you'll come back soon

Dib sighed and placed the notebook under his bed. He missed Zim, with all his heart. And like he had said in his poem, he was the reason why Zim had left. He just had to be. There was no other reason as to why Zim left.

Dib sighed and turned off his light, settling himself in his bed. He wished he knew where Zim was. Maybe he could finally find him again… He had to apologize to Zim. For everything he had done and said to the alien.

Dib just hoped that it wasn't too late, like he thought he did.

AN: ^_^;;;; I just had to add that little bit at the end. More story, you know? Well, go and review, all you lovely little people who like me.
