If I ever learn, in some casual way
Like a quiet hint not spoken out loud,
That you, dear princess, are not okay
As I pass you by in this rushing crowd,
Then I hope I could talk to you, just for a while—
Hopefully it will not trouble you so—
I wish I could somehow make you smile
Because I'm your friend, your knight, you know?
I wish I could somehow, some way, chase
Away the storm clouds from your eyes,
Bring back the bright smile to your face
And hear your laughter, not your sighs.
And you ask for truth, and rightly so:
You are not just someone I used to know.

Hmmm . . . what is there to say about this poem? Ah, right. This poem was written near the end of the second semester. It was written as a reversal of my other poem "Someone I Used to Know" ([link]).
That other poem talked about meeting someone you cared about again and the awkwardness of the situation, since you parted on bad terms. The speaker in that poem expresses a wish to just pretend that nothing ever happened between them, acting as if the person he's talking about is just "someone he used to know."
This one used much the same form (a kind of sonnet, I think?) except that for this poem, the idea is reversed. The speaker is saying, "Though it didn't work out between us, you're still my princess, my best friend. You're not just someone I used to know."
Unlike the first poem, which dealt with an imaginary situation, this one deals with an actual situation that I experienced.
Ad majorem Dei gloriam inque hominum salutem
