I Saw Him Today

 

I saw him today

 And all I could do was stare

Couldn’t move

Couldn’t or wouldn’t speak

Maybe I just imagined him

It wasn’t exactly a clear look

Why would I imagine…what I’d wish would just disappear?

And with its absence…comes my freedom

I can’t know for sure

 But I think he looked back at me

I can only wonder…what he was thinking

If he even cared

How could one person own me like this?

I tried desperately, scratch that

 I didn’t try at all…to forget him

I guess I just hoped, he’d fade

And for a while

 I suppose he did

To be perfectly honest             

 I thought I’d never see him again

And a part of me wanted to, see him

And when I did today

At least I think I did

All I could do was stare for a moment

And then I left

The boy who meant so much to my day

 The boy I had to see

 The boy meant nothing in that moment

For it was after that I broke

Awl...its sad. Often I wonder what that first encounter will be like. Will I think what in the world did I see in him? Enjoyable read. Thanks for entering the Missing Him, Missing Her contest.

You only get to find out wahts good bad or sloppy by letting it go and posting it up is my experience. This reads quite well. Maybe it needs developing but as the basis of something its pretty good : )
