Know Me

The feelings of my attraction were so obtuse. 
I knew he wouldn’t pick me, indigent, without foundation.
How could I convince him he needed to know me? 
Any wrong move could be seen as egregious even if authentic.
It was a delicate matter. 
How could I approach? 
I would have to love from afar. 
Consecrate with faith.
Hope for someone to mediate our introduction and,
Pray for his awakening.
