We Were Doing Great Together


By Brittany Ditch


We started as good friends

I thought it was nice

You asked me out

I waited to answer

We were doing great together

I wanted to change for the better

Hugs were given

I felt warm in your arms

We were still friends

But in a different way

I liked you

You liked me

The truth was out there

That is what life was like

You grabbed my hand one night

I gave in & kept it that way

I thought I was in the right place

Feeling you were everything that lasted in dreams

I didn’t want to loose you

Not even for a day

I felt I was in a fairytale

While everyone knows they don’t exist

You looked me in the eyes

A future was definitely in site

Our parents went fishing

Everything was going so well

Within less then a week of going out

I thought Love was alive

I wasn’t afraid to talk about the past

Ex boyfriends filled it

You claimed you were nervous to kiss me

I understood why


You had told me you really, really liked me

I was falling for you at the same time

I wanted no mistakes

I thought none were made

Now all I need to do is be positive

Not wonder what went wrong

You wanted me to kiss you one night

I wanted & needed to wait until I was ready

I didn’t see you for an entire day

I saw you late at night the next day

I had missed you a lot

I had talked about you like you were gone for a long while

Our time away

Turned into old memories that made me happy

Like us riding bikes

Us holding hands

Like us looking into each others eyes

Us just being together

I kept a picture of you in my pocket

I made sure not to loose or forget it

I really did miss you

I didn’t want to ever loose you

Now I felt I have

You are my little sister’s ex


That was all just fine to me

You were everything I thought I would enjoy

I thought you were different

More patient

I thought you were perfect for me

Who knows right?

Right now as I look at you

I feel sad

Not happy

Just upset at how close I let myself get to you

I feel I have lost

I really hope I didn’t

Am I a little jealous?

I don’t know & hope not to be

The rushing of something so huge to me

Almost made old bad memories come back to life

I was strong this time to keep them away

At least for now

I thought for moments at a time

Ignoring you & everyone else

You claimed I was being mean

I don’t think I was

I needed time to think

Was I making a wrong decision?

I hope to find out soon

I hope it isn’t true

We need to work things out

Before they are to late

If you really do like me

Then patience is needed from you


I am not used to this whole dating thing

I regret some of the past

I feel I have lost you

I hope I have won & have a boyfriend that is still you

I don’t know much

I feel all weird

I hope that we can work things out

In a more positive manner

In a less stressful situation

With a more rewarding decision

I still love you

If you still like me

Lets not run away

Through the past week

I felt things for you like I did someone else

I cried when I felt I was loosing you both

I did love him;

I got my heart broken slowly back then

I know there’s a chance for you in my heart

Is there a chance for me in yours?

Lets not end things right away

Were still young

Lets have some fun

You know we can

Our lives aren’t over yet

You can bet on that

I am sorry for the way I have acted
