Sight

It was a while since my heart ever trembled or fumbled in the sight of a man,

Cold outside confidence and stride in my walk but as he entered the cinema that night my body gave into weakness,

Clumsy and confused, flustered and unaware,

I kept my stride,

Siting in between him and my friend,

My heart kept beating probably faster than light as we watched the movie,

I buried my lust and attraction for him because I didn’t want to lose another friend over a mistake,

My walls of self defense won and I pushed him away so I could not get hurt,

When I close my eyes all I see in sight is his gaze, his smile, his scent, his drunken words as he tells me he loves me,

The next day his coldness hurts me more than a burn as I cook my dinner,

I want him but he doesn’t know,

If I ever see him in sight again I might give up,

And tell him what's up,

In my racing heart.
