Next time

It was the arch in her back that grabbed my attention…

The curve in her hips and did I forget to mention

How beautiful she walked…

Hadn't even heard her talk

And new that the physical had me all shook...

Had to gather my composure

Before I approached her

My mind was having second thoughts

And the more I hesitated the further she walked

Away from me…

She checked over her shoulder to see if I was checking her out

Like she knew I was

But she played it cool and reached into her bag like she was looking for her keys...

Knowing good and well she walked to class that day

Or took the bus

Whatever the case I think she secretly hoped I would approach and say hi

So I did, I said hi

Made up some question about the weather

Or where she was headed

Just some stupid line to get her to talk and say,

Hi or hello or I'm single, are you

Just something to start off a conversation

Then the conflict in my mind would begin

Wanting to dance with her body

Trace the curves of those hips

Wonder if my parts would fit her parts

When were alone in the dark

Will the feel of her lips be as soft as they looked

Would the mind match the story captured within the book

Of her body...

I refocused my energy to fight of the fear of rejection

Cause she could just say nothing, that was my hesitation

She stopped looking through the bag not finding what she had searched for

And continued her journey around the next corner

And she was gone…

Out of my life as quickly as she came in

I turn around to head in the direction I'm headin

As I let my love escape me once again…

Til next time...
