Typing words on the computer screen, I'm sitting here im the very same chair, Where if things were different you might have been, Atop my lap twirling locks of my hair. I'm writing a poem that you would have been reading, On the site which you first told me about, Where i am left to sort this dark shroud of feelings, Attempting to forget and yet bury my doubt, That you and i were meant to be. Ah, then again the counter argument to this is, That maybe we were set by destiny, However for different purposes, You were probably meant to teach me... Of the dangers of a beautiful face, And the lure of empty words in deceit crafted, As well as the evils of a honey tuned voice, Whispering hope at the point of hopelessness. When the lost lamb bleets, the wolf comes a running.. But not to help. One lesson learned. A month ago we'd kill for the chance, To be in this office alone, This moment would have been golden, for such is romance, Love turning mere stones into gold. These freezing air conditioned winds, That nip at my fingers tips, Is exactly the motivation that would have been, Enough for us to ignite the whole room with a kiss. A kiss and then a cuddle, A cuddle and a kiss once more, In the corner wrapped up in a huddle, Would we be, glancing at the door, With every footstep we hear. Taking the chance for each others sake, Unsure of when next we'd meet, Endearing whispers we'd often make, From the lips to the heart as a promise to keep. Memories, the gems of yesterday... Rather than polish to recollection, I'd choose to throw them away, Yet in spite of my actions they glisten. Like zirconic splinters in my soul, That never fade to insignificance, Never disintigrating,though i may grow old, They remain youthful,continuing to shimmer. Ah, look! You've just signed in, And i once again cringe under irony's glare, Contemplating what might have been, Of a reality that was never there |

They don't all work out the way we like...but it is next to impossible not to take that first step...James |
