Feeling it

It happened one night.

When I saw you   I knew

 

You had that look  The look that said yes

 

We had only been friends  This now changed

 

My mouth went dry   Your heart pounded

 

You smiled so sweet   My eyes so bright

 

I walked to you   You stood your space

 

You appeared unsure   My breathing was not

 

I sized you up   The momentum moved us

 

You stood in your area   The game was on

 

I touched your face   You didn't flinch

 

You looked up   I could hear your heart

 

You smiled sweetly   I kissed your lips

 

We knew

I love the way love is portrayed in this poem; the differences in the reactions, the knowing, the start to finish. When you know, you know and I honestly believe in most situations we know! I was able to envision the looks, the expressions, the gestures. Even writing this review I can picture each face. Well done!

[Franky]

Oh my! Thank you! It was completely fiction but it flowed somehow. I appreciate you reading this. Very kind.

[Paul Bell]

So, I'm thinking you and your friend are more than friends now.
Always great, that moment when it all comes together and the sparks start flying in a good way.

There's always some risk of being turned down when it comes to new relationships and crushes. When it works out and the feelings are mutual, those feelings can't be beat. I can feel that in your words.

[Franky]

I agree. Those feelings, when returned are amazing.

How lovely. It's the right time for me to come across this as it recently didn't work out for me with someone I considered a friend and I lost them entirely in the process. My Grandad always said that men and women can't be friends, as at least one of them will always want more at some stage. I've tested his theory but so far he has proven to be right!

I enjoyed this a lot, thank you.
Laura.

[Franky]

You are kind and caring to give me a review and your personal thoughts too, I tend to agree by the way.

[Laura Kate]

Thanks Frankie, it's my pleasure.

I was close friends with a woman from 2009 to 2014. I cared for her very much ada friend. She was real pretty too ...but she got very mad at me about a mistake I made at work and the friendship ended. I actually mourned the friendship since I cared so much. I thought of just showing up at her house and asking for forgiveness but I just couldn't do it. It's sad.

[Laura Kate]

That's very sad. I wasn't friends with the person I mentioned for anywhere near as long, and it was still hurtful. I suppose not everyone we meet are supposed to be in our lives forever.

[Franky]

sad but true. I still think of her.

Friends that soon turn into so much more. This is sweet 😊

[Franky]

I like that too!! Thank you dear.

[VelvetPotato]

I always feel like love is much more awkward and tortuous. Maybe just for me. XD but this piece made me smile and flowed sweetly.

[Franky]

You are kind for reading and giving a helpful review. Thank you! I'm not a good writer so I appreciate being encouraged.

[Arundass TP]

Beautiful poem presenting love and affection.

[Franky]

Thanks man!

[Helen]

You can feel the tension and the risk taking - but taking them anyway and with a happy ending.

I like the style you used to tell this story, really helped to see it from both characters separate points of view, then the coming together in one view at end "we knew"

[Franky]

Thank you so much Helen. I'm thrilled you liked it. Have a great rest of the day.

[Helen]

You too Frankie : )

Relationships keep changing, taking new shape and color. This poem is very realistic and I loved how you wrote it!

[Franky]

You are sweet for reading and reviewing....I appreciate a lot.

[Dhara_Ditzy Kat]

My pleasure Frankie 😺

Frankie...how could you call yourself "average"? Sometimes I read a story/poem and enjoy it, but forget about it. I really felt Feeling It. I not only enjoyed it, but I know it's going to stay in my head for a long time. You have a way of "photographing" real emotions and feelings and it says a lot about you. I can openly say I'm not good at writing poetry, but I do know a flippin' good one when I read one. We'll done 😊

A breathtaking moment when a friendship crosses into something more. Things were about to change and the reader feels the anticipation.
A landmark moment captured fantastically. I enjoyed this read very much.

[Franky]

Thank you Divya.....you are very encouraging. I need that since I'm often thinking my writing is kinda awful.

[Ayvid N]

On the contrary, you are a very convincing writer. Feelings conveyed perfectly! And you're welcome :)

[Franky]

Thank you my friend. You are very kind. Much needed!
