PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Woke up this morning not knowing what was to come

Got up, got dressed

Mechanized routine on repeat

Went through the day as all others

Was closer to being meaningful than the day before

Chaos and peace at the same time

All leading to the ultimate thrill

All leading to the perfect solution

Took a different route home

Met one from my not-so-distant past

Change has showed her face again

A crush not forgotten,

But matured into soemthing not what it once was

Memories we can share

But I could not give in

Not this time, not with this one

Beckoning me to come nearer

Giving me my competition

Able to handle the heat

Numb to the burn

Numb to the pain

Finally I ease up

Allow a little, but not to much

To be where I once dreamt to be

Feeling almost as I felt I would

You keep me close, keep trying to get closer

But each time you get borderline

I push you away again

It never seems to offend you, never bothers you

You make it a joke to show me you dont take it personal

Show you wont go further

Even though you want to

Nothing seems to bother you

The people watching,

The people knowing

For the rest of the night you keep close,

Constantly getting me closer

Each time you do a simple thing,

Something you dont even know you do

Each time you show me more of who you really are,

I slowly let you closer

Constantly showing me affection

The simple things

Not being cruel in any way

I could tell you want more than what you're getting,

But you dont force

We move on to the next room

Keeping me in your arms, but not holding me back when I leave

Instead you come join me

When I show it's ok with me

Treating me almost as though there is none other in the room

Bugs Bunny kisses and first time clashes

Who would have known the children we once were,

The crush once felt,

Would lead to where we are now?

I dont even think you remember my simple childish crush,

Let alone knew of it

Playing hard to get is apparently what i'm best at

And by the look of it, you were up to it

Welcoming more, accepting the challenge

The flood of memories,

Still not grasping what is happening

Your simple words,

The simple looks and actions

Each making me wonder, if I can tell you "no" in the future

Not tonight for I will wait,

But if each night with you is as it is now

If you show no other face, show this is you

Eventually I will be unable to tell you no

Leaving you finally, you go ahead,

But wait when I fall behind, catch me before I can fall

Keep me close, with a strange gratitude shown

Not asking, just knowing

Hoping to meet again before our worlds shift again

Maybe you will come for me

I dont expect you to since you're so far away

Maybe this will just become another memory

Another thing to remember you by

Something so wonderful, yet so simple
