Attraction

Attraction

I wrote you this poem, to share with you my feelings;

To tell you how I feel, to say what I\'ve been thinking.

To open my heart, without fear of rejection;

With a hope in my soul, that you were truly listening.

Since the first time I saw you, at that house in that skirt;

I wished I could give you, what I felt you deserve.

But those things I can\'t afford, your wounds I cannot heal;

I can only share with you, the way that I feel.

Your smile shows your beauty, like a bright neon light;

Your radiance illuminates, even the darkest of nights.

You laugh at simple things, to simply show me your smile;

You make me believe, all the pain is worthwhile.

It teaches us to become, greater than we once were;

To go back and change our mistakes, it teaches us to learn.

I don\'t know you, yet I like you and I hope you like me.

I believe I could get from you, all that I need.

Compassion and love and a little understanding;

To repair this broken heart, to start again and to begin.

A new chapter in this book, we call love, life and death;

You make my heart skip a beat, as you take away my breath.

But with love, lust and attraction,

Comes a world of confusion.

Are these mixed signals that I\'m seeing?

Could you help me to tune in?

To the way that you feel about me,

Without hurting my soul?

If you don\'t feel the same;

Then I\'ll leave you alone.

But I can\'t live another day,

Without showing you how I feel.

I must know what the future holds,

If it would help then I would kneel

And pray to a God, I believe does not exist.

Ask for some sort of sign and maybe a little kiss.

From this woman stood before me,

With all manner of paths to follow;

To show me where to go and what will happen tomorrow.

Will I awake, to another missed opportunity?

Or will she call me at home, just to say hello to me?

The future is uncertain, but my feelings for her are real;

She could be the one I\'ve waited for, for twenty five years.

I have already thought, of fifty reasons why it cannot happen;

But the reply to each reason is to just keep on dreaming.

Maybe this dream will come true and she will feel the same way;

She will want to give it a try. She\'ll go out with me today.

One boy meets one girl and they make a connection;

They both feel the same way, so go out for a drink.

One day to show my good points and not scare her with the bad;

One chance to impress her, I must play my best hand.

They smile all night long and laugh through the awkward silences;

They finish the night, with the tenderest of kisses.

I\'ll call you tomorrow; we should do this again.

I\'ve had a great night tonight, so I\'ll pick you up at seven.

We\'ll go to that restaurant and eat the finest cuisine;

Is this foolishness that I speak, or is it a dream?

We could go see a movie first and later drink at the pub;

Then who knows what could happen,

Maybe one day, we could fall in love.

But don\'t get ahead of yourself, take things one step at a time;

Get to know each other first, with a bottle of wine.

Then fall asleep on the sofa, laying in each others arms;

Then wake up to the alarm and watch the new days rising sun.
