1st Place
"Unexpected" by ~ReallyLostMyMind
UnexpectedWe walked down the stone hallway,
Hands at our sides,
Fingers bumping against each other.
We were never in step.
Our hands were so close,
But never touching for long.
Definitely never holding each other.
No.
He’s far too…
Arrogant,
Affluent,
Annoying,
“Awesome?”
He peeks over my shoulder.
I raise an eyebrow in his direction.
The notebook slams shu-

We were walking next to each other today,
As we do quite often,
But her shoulder and arm kept on bumping into me.
She seemed really off step.
She never leaned against me though.
Using me as support?
Ha!
She’s far too…
Proud,
Poor,
Pretentious,
“Phenomen

2nd Place
"Unexpected Love" by *outRAGEousConcepts
Unexpected Love
Our souls met long before our eyes
Every conversation held a new surprise
It was so easy, so natural, so beautiful too
My heart wasn't ready for the surprise of you
I thought I knew what I was searching for
I never dreamed there could be something more
Someone who could make me want to change my mind
The rarest kind of love I thought I would never find
Just the sound of your voice over the phone
Is the sound of knowing I will never be alone
You make my heart smile and fill my soul with song
Every day I wonder how I lived without you for so long
Just thinking about you puts a smile on my face
It was so unexpected, but you are my h

3rd Place
"The Pessimist and the Optimist" by ~Octavias101
The Pessimist and the Optimist
An opposite unlikely
Together, forever seen
Holding their hands tenderly
Unfolded in a reverie

One is a darker nature
Who sees the bitter side of things
Who can not discern the positive
But knows exactly what are kings

The other a sheltered hope
Who lives in a narrow world
Who chooses to disregard
The opinion to be hurled

With one or the other
They are the split of souls
A broken half to the other
Until forever never tolls

The skeptical deserves
Someone, a far cry away
From all he looks down upon
Beyond his haunted casement

A care-free spirit
Would lose her sense of direction
Without a map or sight to lead
Her thoughts, only another

Honorable Mentions

Love SurprisesI didn't expect to fall for you,
I didn't expect to fall so soon.
I didn't expect to fall so hard,
to fall so very fast.
I never thought you'd catch my fall, 
but you were there, 
you stopped me fast.
I don't know if time just stopped
or if you stopped my heart.
I don't know if I like this feeling,
to feel so strongly for you.
But when I fell, you were there;
you caught me in your arms.
So there I'll stay,
hope for the best;
I hope you fall for me.
"Love Surprises" by ~jahendrick             GlaciersYour heart is a glacier
my waves cannot reach,
frozen in time, sinking ships
with your gaze.

Me, I'm just a drumbeat
resounding at random,
like a child I'm wanting
things I cannot have.

But my warmth could melt the poles,
and now your heart is vivid
seeking out a moment
to get lost in me.
