Anticipation

**********************************************

I don't even know you

That is what I tell myself

So why do I recognize what you do

It's like I all of sudden met myself

 

Came face to face with a version of me

That should tell me all I need to know

And give me every reason I should go

And yet I am compelled to stay

Do tomorrow what I should do today

Walk away and keep things cool

 

We both know I'm to curious though

To just leave and never know

This is how I get in trouble you see

Wanting to experience everything

 

I can't help it I want to know

Everything that makes things so

Like the songs of being wild and free

I want to find out about you and me

Even though our end is inevitable

 

I think for now I'll stay and find out

Everything about you I don't know about

And when one of us decides to leave

Then again we can both breathe

 

But for now I am holding my breath

Wanting to see where you touch

Want to find that threshold oh so much

I know there is a way to say

Yes

    Wow! That sense of a bond when you first meet someone, the commonality of spirit, the anxious thrill of suspense, the intense curiosity, it's all here in your poem. Great job of expressing that first tingle of desire. Loved it - Phil A.
