I Saw Her In Passing

"I Saw Her in Passing" by: Eric L. Boddie I was running late for an appointment Fighting a losing battle against time And as I turned the corner I was mesmerized by what I was destined to find She had a glamorous figure And her face was so elegant So much Beauty radiated from her She must have been Heaven sent And with the meeting of our eyes We anxiously exchanged smiles And hers was so pure I Prayed to God she was not a child Because they grow up so fast So much that eyes can't see the truth Because booties, thighs and breasts are now developed In the prime of feminine youth And she didn't even have the biggest booty But it looked just so round and soft And with every Jell-O inspired jiggle The control of my eyes became more lost What's her name, what's her age, where's she from, where's she going Is she a virgin, is she a freak, is she Holy, is she a mother So many thoughts raced through my mind Because I, at that very moment, desired to be her lover But time was against me That's the battle no man can win If I could, I would climb a mountain to reach her But the truth is I will probably never see her again

Reminds me of the song "You're Beautiful" by James Blunt - like ships passing in the night - paths destined to never cross. Wistfull and lovely, yet powerful and deep! 1 love it! Pandita
