I recently started watching Young Justice based on a suggestion from an old friend. We used to watch Teen Titans back in the day together, and she thought I would like Young Justice. Anyways, this is a poem I came up with about the most obvious non-couple in the show.

Why do I feel this way about him,

When I should want the other?

The other is strong and confident

Kind and pure-hearted, he listens to me

He puts others first, especially her

The girl with the green skin.

I should want him, and I told myself I did.

It was so easy to pretend before they got together

And now I have nowhere to turn.

When he talks to me, I can't help it

I wish that raven hair was red, those muscles

Replaced by speed

I shouldn't, he is everything I thought I hated

Arrogant and self-centered, but

When I hear him say my name

Even with his great speed, he is nothing

Compared to the speed of my beating heart

Beating, beating out of my chest when he comes near

I push him away, push my feelings aside.

But I cannot tell myself anymore that I don't,

That I don't wish he would push back, push himself closer

Because he's not what I want.

He's what I need.

I need the passion of his spirit

The speed of his decisions, the speed of his thoughts,

The feel of his arms around me like they once were

Racing through the desert without our memories

We were so close, and now we seem too far away.

But how can I tell him, after everything?

Everything I've said, everything I've done,

Everything that I'm going to do in the furture

Because no matter how I feel,

He's not what I want, not what I've ever wanted.

That flash of yellow and red, the flash of pearly white teeth

Always in a smirk, or bared in anger,

or hidden in a concerned frown

As he pushes the villains away

But I cannot have him, for if I give in to him

It means I put myself first

And I don't deserve to be that happy

Even though when I look in his eyes

I'm not so sure.

He's what I need.

I love him, and maybe someday

He'll be what I want.
