The curse of the smile
I’ve been texting her back and forth,
First time I met her I was moved by her passion,
I’m thinking about consummating with her out of wed lock,
The thought blocks, my mental processing,
So we meet at the concert that I and her are attending,
I notice her, give her a hug,
Her one arm embrace should have told me that nothing more beyond friendship would happen,
Between us,
But she smiled,
The smile was nice, semi seductive,
She looked beautiful; no compliment from me was spoken,
I wanted to hurry the conversation,
After all she was here for a show with friends,
Asked if she would be at the after party,
She gave a yes,
Yes was great,
Ganja smoke aroma sits in the air of the auditorium,
As the performer blazes the show,
I eventually see her at the after party,
Her eyes do a quick steer as I approach and say hi,
She looks quickly back at her phone as the intense texting continues,
Crushed by this I can’t show it,
So I smile as I tell her I am very observant,
Then I just walk away,
