What Should I do

another rhyme

 

What Should I do….

These thoughts of you, they won’t go away

The creep up and around, and invade my day

It’s like they play tag, and scream you’re it
and for whatever reason, they won’t let me forget

I thought it was a crush, something that would pass

But it’s three years later, how long will it last

Out in that dark June summer night,
On the patio, I saw your eyes twinkle with delight

The next time, in that scorching July heat

You seemed to be wearing a face of pure defeat

Then, at the Boathouse, you sang and sang

I saw the dirty looks, and pointed fingers, I fled away

Months later, I gulped down my silly pride

At Rafter’s you stood, singing, your eyes again alive

 

We had a stare down, just you and I, but I confess

After my blushing, you won, it was simply no contest

At Icon you mingled, you sang and danced
But your mind was elsewhere, in it’s own trance

It’s foolish to have feelings for you, this I know

But what shall I do when they refuse to go

I notice your eyes.  I notice your smile. 
I can sense your joy and even your sorrow.

Your eyes tell me a story, that I think no else can hear
and I’m left in my own world,  my imagination w/o fear

My memory repeats and what am I left to do
it’s not my business to think these things about you
