for a short while

There for just a short while
I was happy.
People noticed.
The smile on my face that radiated from within
The bounce in my step
That special extra something something
That comes from feeling …
From believing
That two people actually can connect on multiple levels.

Each day I anticipated contact --
Albeit simple emails or a voice mail
Your quirkiness and subtle sexiness
Made me happy.

And now you have recoiled to your world
Apart from me … all ties severed
Not for lack of interest or attraction
But angst from the reality of daily living.
If only you would let me help you smile
And bring a little joy …

like you did me
I miss you.

Match in the Dark

Looking for a match
In the dark
Not to light a cigarette
But to burn away the past
And with this new flame
Will I light a new bright future
