BeTwEeN ThE LiNeS

Perhaps a change in circumstances
Or l am just living on the side lines
Do l simply ignore their advances
Or am l stuck within my own confines

Though even now the heart still dances
As always it seems l am in two minds
Whenever l think of past romances
Alot unlike that of todays dimes

With all of the awkward one way glances
Or is it l am just strugling to see the signs
Still though l wonder what are my chances
Of finding someone now in these times

I enjoyed this read. I don't know your age, but either you are shy or you are older and finding it hard to date again? I think I would hate being single again the way this world has become. The last part of your poem is very fitting
