The Tale of Two

A reflection of a great poet,
I've seen every time I looked at you, 
so seductive your voice hypnotised me, 
I'd always look at you and wonder, 
travelled back so that I could see if this was really me,
Remember how we met?
Over a piece of paper 
We were the only ones left 
Like innocent teens falling in love 
For the first time 
We both rushed to it
Pulled it on both sides and it stuck 
Without a choice we looked 
Straight into our eyes
Gazed like having a first kiss
I smiled, you reflected it
Like Shakespeare's first sight 
We walked on stanzas 
And jumped back to reality 
We found ourselves holding hands
Like girls catch up 
Our conversation flowed
So beautiful you were
As time went by
I found myself loving you
Unfortunately you couldn't
Believed I could try harder 
But I was at my peak
And you kept on reflecting 
The "I know you can do better"
Reaction on my way of loving 
Not knowing what to do 
I was consistent 
Appeared unserious to you
Reflection of a great poet
I've seen in your eyes 
Remember how we met?
Over a piece of paper

This poem appealed to my poetic side, and my love for this site, in particular, as most of my new friends have met me over a piece of paper. Almost all of them. Thank you for writing this one!
