With a single look,

You took my breath away.

A simple thought of you,

And my sanity went astray.

A touch by your hand 

Frazzled my mind into disarray.

 

Glints of kindness,

Flashed across your eyes.

Not one word that rolled off your tongue,

Showed any hint of lies.

Though I was blind,

For a problem would arise.

 

Polka-dotted skin,

From head to toe.

Tantalizingly soft,

Which brought on my woe:

The realization of the possibility

Being slim to no;

 

I simply hoped it would all pan out,

Though there was never a chance of our being one.

But now it's all over,

All said and done. 

Thank you for your time,

My short term loved one.
