Jimmy   Here we are again, one year later. A year of fighting our true feelings.  You stand before me, desiring me. I stand clueless, Wondering what might have been... What still could be.   As you dance so close,    You breathe so softly.      And you talk so sweetly, Holding me closer with every step.         I wanted to forget all those sweet smiles,      All of the desire I have for you. All the electricity between us,      The peace of having you by my side, The pain of watching you walk away.   Too many times I've cared too much.    Too many times I stood on the edge. Only to be pushed off When you felt you were getting too close.   You asked me not to fall.. Too late, I already did. Your charming smile The soft touch of your lips The sweet smell of your skin... The way I feel when you touch me...   I know you love me. I know you care. There's no denying it, baby... So why won't you let me in? Or have you done so already?   You say you don't want a relationship right now. I'm not just "a relationship". I am a woman, with strong feelings. Feelings I cannot deny anymore. Am I selfish for wanting you? No, just hungry. Hungry for you...

Ever have someone come in and out of your life so many times it kills you? When you know that the person loves you, yet they run when they get too close? Yeah, me too. This poem was written for my "runaway" love. He'll never read it since he's not on the internet at all. But, maybe someday I'll print it out and give it to him. Depends on how the course runs this time around.
