She Stopped By Unexpectedly

I just saw you.
The other day. 
You were so nice. 
You looked so great. 

Such emotion 
when we two meet! 
You are so tough. 
You are so sweet. 

For a moment 
I saw you melt 
When I hugged you 
and love we felt. 

How do I tell 
These things inside? 
How to confess 
These things I hide? 

You fill me up, 
then leave me empty. 
You push me back, 
then you tempt me. 

You cut me deep. 
You patch me up. 
You make me thirst. 
You fill my cup. 

You make me cold. 
You make me burn. 
You make me flee. 
You make me yearn. 

All of these things 
you do to me 
And so much more 
you’ll never see. 

Is this love real 
or just a toy? 
Am I your man 
or just a boy?

Is this for now? 
Now together? 
Just your dalliance 
or forever? 

Can I stay true? 
Fidelity? 
Can you open 
yourself to me? 

I am your love 
you seemed to say. 
But you left and 
pushed me away. 

Then just get out! 
Leave me alone! 
Get off my couch! 
Now leave my home! 

Don’t walk away! 
Don’t ever go! 
You have to stay! 
Please come back home! 

I will let you bind me I will let you show me 
I will let you blind me I will let you know me 
I will let you grind me I will let you grow me 
I will let you find me 
Please come and find me 

I will be bold 
and I will mold 
myself to you, 
if you I hold. 

Please just show me 
that there are ways. 
That there’s a path 
past youthful days. 

I’m almost there. 
I’m almost ready. 
I’ll be better. 
I’ll be steady. 

I’ll never know you. 
But I will try to 
do what I can do 
Because I love you.

It was real, but it was nearly 25 years ago. The core of this poem was written back then. I spruced it up for posting. Not a statement of present desires, but I thought it was a good sentimental piece. I hope you enjoyed it!
