It was an unseen thing,
the glimpse of you that led
to the tensiled thought,
strung through me,
I, wired tighter,
hummed harder,
the closer you got,
I, worried for the snap retraction
if we ever had some mental interaction,
Sat I,
in the gap, strayed,
afraid of changes and possible rejection,
And it would be an unseen thing,
to re-string myself, again,
So glimpses, strings
and tensiled thoughts
are all I got.
