Nothing and Nowhere

Browsing through CD aisles
casually flicking through 'B'
can you see? - it's all for show.
Just waiting, waiting, waiting..
for you. To walk through those doors.
To lay my eyes upon your soft face.
Drink in each feature, all
perfectly shaped, floppy hair falls forward.

Then my dream comes true,
In you walk, nonchalant and cool.
Are you acting too?
I glance over my shoulder, see
you glance too.
But I'm tongue tied, heart racing
palms sweating.
the butterflies are on speed.
I glance away.

Voices in the background, yells
are just a blue.
Too aware of my flushed cheek, these shaking
hands, i clench into fists.
Willing the power, to over my
awkwardness, standing around totally
out of place.

So I open my mouth, but
it's too late.
Again, my voice catches in my throat.
My eyes glisten as I watch
Your retreating back,
smaller every second.
And I know, I'm never
to see you again.

The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return.

Awww... that's really sad. I'm sorry that happened to you, it did happen to you right? Well I like this one by you. It was really good. Keep on writing.

Unrequited love is the most painful thing in the world...Believe me it's a pain I know only to well.

this is really sad, but as my granny used to say there is a lid for every teapot,give it time and you will meet someone kind.
