Eleven

11 years before I was born
A boy existed.
Poetry couldn't encapture his messy mind
5 years before I was born
A boy went to school.
Getting a proper education, because it was the rule.
A year before I was born
I felt him calling.
I forgot how he sounded.
Ten years old, I stand.
He stood at 21.
Labouring at his third job.
Waiting for his wishes to be granted.
I turn 15, he was waiting.
16, time is ticking.
17, she walked into his eyes, into his heart.
Now i'm 18, ready to get him.
He's in love with someone else.
