I don't know you.
I met you years ago,
and I keep meeting you
over and over again.
We barely speak,
but every time
you look at me,
I melt.
I'm told from the closest to you,
to talk to you.
You come close
and run away.
I see a tenderness in you
I can't run away from.
Tonight,
you would stay for a few moments,
and again,
you would run away.
You make my heart race,
my fantasy of you completes me.
You are handsome, successful,
fun, and sensitive.
You play with me,
like a cat.
You tease me,
and let me go,
then come back again.
Your eyes meet mine,
and I can't turn away.
There are only a few certain people in my life that affect me so.
And you are one of them.

the fantasy about someone can sometimes be better than the reality

------------------
If I had my mouth I would bite.
If I had my liberty I would do my liking.
In the mean time, let me be that I am, and seek not to alter me. ~~~Shakespeare~~~

I know!
Too bad reality intrudes sometimes!

I liked this poem, "You play with me,
like a cat." I loved this line.

Thanks, Lost Dreamer!

It's the only thing that I could think of that described it so perfectly!

Ohme,
The world is full of jerks, but I always want to believe "the right one" is out there. It's bound to happen sooner or later!
