The Gas Station Guy

Bird In Red

He walked in, and I think my heart skipped a beat.

How could any god create this handsome man?

I only saw his face once,

But that was enough to say he was perfect.

I don't remember his eyes or if our gazes met,

But I remember his lips.

His lips were gorgeous. They suited him.

Dark as night were his locks that framed his face.

This man was carrying a skateboard.

I couldn't get my eyes off him when he stood in the lane.

He was about two heads taller than me.

I wonder how old he is?

I saw his manly hands when he bought himself an ale.

His short fingernails were painted black. 

I wonder if he plays guitar...

He was speaking English.

Even though he spoke minimally, I still noticed:

His voice was perfect too.

I wonder what country he's from?

I had no idea where this man came from or where he is going.

I watched him go as he left,

His oversized clothes suited him amazingly.

My gaze followed him until it couldn't anymore.

I hope he didn't notice me,

But at the same time I hope he did.

    Passion's intrigue and the mind's fantasy blend reality with what could be. The sum is usually shy reserve. Very nice

  • Natalie Gladmir

    This is what is good about youthful romanticism: the soul is filled with feelings, and life is painted with bright colors.

      It is so, but not always.

    • Poetic Licence

      Passion and fantasy in what could be if not so shy, lovely write
