Once upon a time in a land far away,
There was the perfect boy,
And a not so perfect girl.
He was the fun one with all the friends,
She was the shy girl with a lot to say.
She never thought he’d give her a second glance,
Until the day their eyes met.
It was a fairytale moment,
With fireworks and magic in those silent seconds,
So much was said in a glance that neither could understand.
And the girl started to daydream and wonder.
They never spoke before,
That perfect boy and not so perfect girl,
Aside from their amazing conversations,
Between her bright blues and his warm brown eyes.
Until that day,
When he flashed her a perfect smile,
And walked his perfect walk,
To where she was always waiting.
She became is princess in the way he had always been her prince.
Their chat was what most would consider normal.
But it was then that the not so perfect girl,
And that oh, so perfect boy,
Fell in love.
I am that not so perfect girl,
And this is for my perfect boy.

This is really old, but it made me smile when I read it after so long, despite the cliches (:

&quot;In the end, it&#039;s still best to wait for the one we want rather than settle for what&#039;s available. It&#039;s still best to wait for the one you love rather than to settle for the one who&#039;s around. It&#039;s still best to wait for the right person, because life&#039;s too short to waste on the wrong one.&quot;

I love this, it tells the perfect story! It wrapped up great, with no loose ends. It was simple, which was what drew me in because a lot of poets try too hard to be intricate. Yours was perfect:) Five stars:)

I think that the cliches of this piece only highlight the way the writer actually feels, because not every moment in life is a wow moment with the most awesome thing that can be said, often what comes out is corny and cute, but still heartfelt, I think you absolutely nailed this piece on the head for every girl that finds her "perfect boy." It's beautiful Inksplotch, and I hope to see more of it.

Oh, my gosh, I love this! I don't like many of the free verse poems, so that says alot.(when free verse is good, its really good, but when its bad its REALLY BAD, not naming any names, though.) My favorite lines are "When he flashed her a perfect smile,/And walked his perfect walk/ To where she was always waiting." And the last two lines are great aswell. Awsome job, Inksplotch, Five stars!
