she approached me
on a blazing hot summer day
late afternoon
I’d never seen her before
stood there waiting
my mouth dry as desert sand
because of her beauty
she kept walking toward me
showing a faint smile
finally a broad grin broke over my face
my feet began to move toward her
I was bringing my arms
up to shake hands
or embrace her
whatever she wanted from me
she walked past me
I was completely caught off guard
when I turned
and saw her hugging and kissing
the man who was walking behind me

Ouch!  It's hard to leave me with a lack of words to describe how a poem makes me feel, or how it would make me feel if I were to place myself within it.  Other than, "That's gotta suck,"  I come up with nothing here.  Here's to a better day, friend.

Hah! I hear you, Michael. It is a very awkward moment to be sure. Appreciate your thoughts.
