Could you step a little closer?

Random Thoughts

Crossroads winding every which way,

Intersecting at a point where time stops-

Or almost, seems to travel in slow motion.



I knew I was in for trouble,

Such furtive glances always sank below

And I felt his jealousy-

And my demise.



I watched you sit

And calculated your movements...

You were so predictable.



A social butterfly, were you

Caught in the wind

Untamed and free



But the woman's intuition-

The dire need,

To delight and transform

But your wings were too full.



How could I ever think

That you could ever take wind

And take into consideration the love

That could have burrowed within



Regretting and regressing

Back to the moments so still

Where I thought but knew-

That it would dissappear



Such clouded skies

Are cast over in ours-

Two different people,

Two different personalities.



I'm glad you've been the way you have

Because I can't lose the one I know

And one that i'm destined to be with



I'm sorry if it ever caused you heartache

No, you are not for me.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The last line sums up everything.  I was just thinking about someone in my past.  Sorry this isn't a very good poem---I just needed to get these thoughts out.
