Short Love Affair

i walked in never thought i had a date with destiny

i sat down and i was waiting for my agony

you crossed my eyes and it felt like an eternity

time stopped people disappeared and here was i ,in captivity

i looked at you and you looked back and there were us exchanging those eye contacts

you smiled and i smiled back ,god please am too young for a heart attack

i listened to your chit chat am sorry i couldn't hold back ,but i never thought angels do talk

sow some friends had to say hello ,i looked at you and you watched me as i go

i came back and sow you alone, you welcomed me like god welcoming a lost soul

i sat down and here we go again ,the agony ,the captivity ,the eternity came back like a hail of rain

the moment came when you got up leaving causing me pain ,i should have seen it coming god what a shame

it took me a minute to follow you outside ,i couldn't see you .. ow there you are inside your car

i watched you drive vanishing through the light why wouldn't i approach you when it felt so right

 will i see you ,could we ever meet again ,answers delayed but in my heart you remain my sweet short love affair

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

oh isn't that the way it goes?? THis reminds me so much of that song that was on the radio a long time ago? I can't remember its title any more, maybe it's name was "you're beautiful" Do you know which song I mean? I really liked this. I wrote a poem similar to this one a long time ago and it was in sonnet form!
