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!
