ZACK

So instantly attracted to Zack
Author of Gorilla and the Bird
That when I met him 
I couldn't say a word

He wrote in my book
When I approached for signing
You smell great
So I wrote in illegible writing.
I felt tingling in places
When he read that aloud
Turned red and snuck away  
Ducking through the crowd

Not sure what it was about him
I couldn’t stop staring
His presence took my breath away
Taking pictures without caring 

His flirtatious smile
Felt familiar like coming home
Dark brooding eyes
I wanted to talk with him alone

Olive-green pants with a black T-shirt
Dark black hair a bit messy
Light brown boots and dark beard
Holy hell this man was sexy
 
I was a physical wreck
Drawn to his guile
Attracted to his aura
Mesmerized by his smile

After his two-hour lecture
I struggled to maintain composure
Watching him walk around
Wanting him to stand closer
 
In front of the venue in his honor
I watched him pace
Wishing I had an excuse to chat
I felt my heart race

Driving away I waved
Losing my chance
Knowing that was that
I took one last glance
