Across the room I caught a glimpse or two
At you the object of my fantasies
My eyes expanded to catch all of you
Now you’ve conquered my recent memories
You spoke of days when you were better groomed
Extrapolations knocked me off my seat
I’m sorry if I seemed a bit consumed
By daydreams where you answered my entreat
At night they persisted so violently
Ravaged my senses and my bed-sheet thoughts
I kept them to myself so silently
Awake at three AM they’re all I brought
To lands where I would seek and where you’d hide
For days that stretched so long I played inside
Pretending there was more to your quick laugh
Constructing meaning to your gentile glare
Tricking myself became a new-found craft
As I wrote dialogue for us to share
Our words plant themselves and they take root
Our similarities transform to lust
Our minds connect and our lips follow suit
We start to act on those things we discussed
Your cheek intoxicates me with a touch
Your bad-hair day surrounds my collar bone
Enveloped in these thoughts I lost my clutch
To the mere fact I stand here all alone
My bubble bursted and I lost my pride
When I saw you two walking side by side
