Across The Street

written about a beautiful woman that lives across the street from me

Across the Street

 

Thoughts of you arise in my mind in spurts

As rare as paper cuts but it still hurts

All I can do is stare

And I dare

Not approach you

Even though my friends coach me through

Each step of a potential conversation

I just know I would be doing it out of desperation

So as I walk out of this door

I am greet by the sun

I just look at the house that conceals my crush

But hush

I don’t want the word to get out

Unless the word is coming out of my mouth

So one day I will cross this ocean of cement

With efforts to learn to know you

But at the same time

I know what reality is…

And that is

You will continue to be a goal never pursued

We will just exchange visual love notes

Maybe a smile or two

But I will never have a privilege of getting to know you

We will never meet

We will just continue to be

Two curious souls

Across the street

This is by far the best I have read of yours you seem to be able to rhyme easilyThe acid test is to get someone to read your words a aloud if the y flow like warm honey you have it right if not edit and reedit until they do ivor

I loved it.
It reminded me of "You don't know me" by Ray Charles.
I absolutely love the idea of someone watching and wanting.
It's what I hope for.
Great.
