Have You Ever

Have You Ever


Sitting in a restuarant or some other place
You feel someone is starring, unfamiliar face
So you look up and you see him looking
Eye contact, somewhat baffeling

Go about my business, focus my attention
Enjoy the company I am with, my concentration

Why does my mind want to pull me in that direction
Don't want to look there, is there some mental connection
So I look back and yes he is still there
Eye contact again, familiar stare

Thinking back should have I introduced myself
Did he know me from some familiar place
Will never have that answer, time gone by
Only God knows these answers and why

No I never... But I guess I'm not that interesting... I'm not sure whether that is good or bad... But your poem is good (I'm sure)! Terry

Ooh yes only last night , we went out for the 2nd time in about 5 years as we sat chatting I was drawn to look up and a man was watching me all night I ignored him.
