A/N: whelp, eow, guyzzz…ehehe, this is my first time to putting up a poem…my teacher in English asked us to make a three-stanza poem for our portfolio…but I kinda missed the three-stanza part and made a six-stanza (you, guyz, must be thinking I'm not attentive in class…but hey, it's my fave subject! Hehe).

And this one is supposed to be part of my American Beauty coz I wrote it with that fic on my mind but looking back, I just had the feeling that it was…not kinda appropriate…but still related…and a poem I read a long time ago kinda gave me the idea and put me into mood with this sentimental song playing, with the wind blowing on my face, sitting beside the window, with the sun setting on the horizon…(sigh)

Hope you, guyzz, can excuse this simple poem and…sympathize? Ehehe, read and find out!

----OoO----

American Beauty:

Bakit Di Mo Ako Kayang Mahalin?

By:SHAJIRA

"Bakit di mo ako kayang mahalin?

Why can't you just love me?"

Every time I see you, my heart starts to race

Just a smile from you, I go weak in the knees

I feel warm, giddy, energetic and romantic

I know I'm acting like total lovesick lunatic

But for you, I'm just a friend

This hidden feeling is something you'll never believe in

And I'm so stupid for wishing a happy ending

Because I know from within there was never a beginning

I could wait for you forever

Fight for you or die for you

But darn it, you still love her

No matter how much I love you

Everyone tells me to give up on you

"Forget his mesmerizing gaze,

Forget the smile on his face,

For get the warmth of his embrace

Forget the unrequited love you once knew

Remember he'll never come to you

Forget him when they play your secret song

Remember when you cried all night long."

You're the one who broke my heart

You're the reason my whole world fell apart

You're the one who makes me cry

But I still love you and I don't know why

Why can't you just love me?

-----OoO----

Okay, explanations:

Title: This is originally entitled Unrequited Love but I switched it into Bakit Di Mo Ako Kayang Mahalin? It is the Filipino term for Why Can't You Just Love Me, or Why Can't You Love Me?

Inspiration: A cute guy beside me? Ahehehe, my SEATMATE is a GIRL! But maybe, he's just somewhere…

Shajira, are you in love? (I Know, crazy question…) :

Awww, that question…Yes I am…to Harry Potter!

Mwahugzzz,

Never-been-in-love-in-short-unloved SHAJIRA

Oh yeah, please review! Ahehe, and tell me If I should make another poem or place this one in American Beauty

"Let no one who loves be called altogether unhappy.

Even love unreturned has its rainbow…"
