Potential Fulfillment Lost

Finally… Found the one just needs waiting a minute Words used, questions asked, finding her history, wants, needs Not touching physically, yet finding a spot in the heart and mind Like seeing the moist, green, luscious valley through the weeds. Yes… Losing your self in thoughts of what might become Knowing time must pass before the present is clear to see Forgetting the presence of the mountain that must be moved Realizing my heart and mind are being held in captivity There… The plan is set the time is near Only one more piece to make a perfect picture Waiting on the news, heart is racing, mind is chasing Praying, checking messages, waiting on the future Slam!!... The door is shut with a vengeance The picture is left unfinished, broken in fact Heart breaking, mind searching, thoughts fading The potential is lost to another uncontrollable act.
