You were that catch that I caught
After you entered my eye-
Confident speaker-
Well dressed
You never stood a chance.

That was almost a year ago
And since that first dinner
(lost in candle light
And conversation)
There’s been space
And distance driven into my heart
By a mind too practical for itself.

But moments stolen
Have caught me off guard
And my mind seems elsewhere
Leaving me to stand.
Tonight. In this dark.
In this confusion over distance
And beats of my heart.

You touched me
Beyond the reasons of man
And lust and love.
The dirty words
That we both could utter
But you directed me
And I fell into place.
Without any need or expectation-
You satisfied me.

So today I wake-
After a night of standing
Within no realization or fact
And a long night of driving-
I know it’s a long way back
And I wonder
It your arms would be waiting
More than your heart.
