Love Behind a Door

Walking down the street With a fast pace heart beat Not knowing where I am going Not knowing what path is ahead of me Looking in all directions Not knowing what I am looking for Bam…it hits me like a brick wall I turn my head and there is this girl standing about 5’6 tall Her body glowing in the moonlight As I look up to the stars and look back at her She has a smile on her face that is ever so bright Not knowing what to say The beauty of this girl has left me speechless I am like a little kid not knowing what to do at recess Do I walk past her and say hi under my breathe Do I give her a head nod so she knows I am looking at her No no no I finally build up my courage and approach her Next thing I knew I woke up and everything was a great big blur I asked myself Was I dreaming? I roll over to get out of bed and there’s a number So I think why not give it a call She answers and says hello Shocked that its really her so my words come out slurred as if I was melting in snow I ask if we can meet up to see if it’s really the girl of my dreams She says yes with no hesitation So as I arrive at this certain location She comes out the corner In awe I can’t believe it was really her beauty and all My legs got weak as if I was about to fall I took her to lunch and had a ball Laughing and smiling I couldn’t believe I was out with a girl of such stature As we wrap up lunch and begin our sunset walk My feelings for her are still in utter shock I begin to open her door with all her feelings But she slams it in my face I am thinking to myself she has been hurt But later she says “I got something to tell you” Me having a good idea and a pretty good clue She says she is taken I replied no you must have me mistaken You’re the girl of my dreams Sadly that’s all she will ever be Have you ever wanted someone in which you can’t touch but only see? I am so foolish to think a girl like that would ever be into me I slowly walk myself down to the local store My feelings are hurt and my heart is heavy as I hit the cold floor I should have known that there was already love behind her door © Jeremy Fennell
