LIFETIMES

How many lives have we lived?
How many times have I met you?
How many ways have I loved you?
Did you see me...Did you know me...
Could you sense that I cared?
I stayed awake so many nights thinking
Obsessing, and wondering how I would
Ever just know you. Just to know you.
Finally, I got up the courage.
I went to your door
I froze. Filled with fear, worry, I could feel
My body burning with excitement!
My hands were sweaty.
I started to quake.
I raised my fist....Knock...knock...knock
No answer.
Again. knock...knock...knock
No answer.
By now a range of emotions are
Skyrocketing through me.
Should I stay....Should I go....?
Here goes nothing.
Third and final time.
Knock...knock...knock.
You answer. To my dismay
I didn't know what to say.
I stuttered around trying to find my
Words. I said hello and shook your hand.
Introductions were made and that was
That.
I feel like an idiot.........To be cont'd.....
