Poem for "Our Nathan"

This was written after a meeting with a man who was so handsome I fell in lust for him for years. He never knew it.

                                     

 I don't know how to tell you

  It's almost been a year

  That this occurred, you never knew

  Now telling you, I fear

 

                    I won't forget that winter night

  It's etched inside my mind

  Your hair, your eyes, your smile bright

  I thought I would go blind

 

  I kept my cool and did not move

  'Continued on with talking

  'Cause what I felt I could not prove

                                       (Oh please, just keep on walking!)

 

  But you walked up and said hello

  And joined our conversation

  My voice picked up, my eyes a glow

  Surprised by my sensation

 

  My mind was gone, you'd never know

  At all by my composure

  I smiled nice, continued so

  I would not bear exposure

 

  Your sapphire eyes, they sparkled bright

  They burned with icy fire

                                       They twinkled softly in my sight

  Igniting my desire

 

  I had to leave, I could not stand

  To feel you there beside me

  Though unaware and so unplanned

  Was it a fantasy?

 

  How could it be that you became

  So special in one night?

  How did you get inside my brain

  Through simple talk and sight?

 

  There in bed I could recall

                                       It all just word by word

  And trying to see why I saw

  Oh god! I am absurd!

 

  Toss and turn, then drift awhile

                                       I hear your voice it seems

  I turned to look and see your smile

  You're there inside my dreams

Wooo! You should have told him how you felt. I'm curious why you didn't? I love your emotions in this poem, they're something we've all felt.
