Unconscious Tryst

I stand here shifting nervously, 

Staring at the ground 

I can read it in your eyes 

You’re unsure of what you’ve found 

I’m a total wreck around you 

Trust me I am aware, 

But you smile at me warmly 

With an unpretentious stare. 

I’ve thought about you often 

Though we’ve never met before 

And prayed for one to look at me 

The way your eyes adore. 

There is magic in this moment 

Like the sweetness of a song 

When everything falls in perfect rhyme, 

I know you’ve loved me all along. 

I want to keep this feeling 

All the flutters in my heart 

The emptiness I once had felt 

Is filled now part in part. 

Suddenly there’s a buzzing noise 

And I awake to my alarm 

You were just another dream 

My mind had meant no harm. 

For a moment I recall your face 

Then it’s lost in the scrambled sea 

Packed away with the dreams before 

You’re in good company. 

The emptiness returns to me 

As I prepare to face the day, 

But maybe if I’m blessed enough 

I’ll find you along the way.
