20 October 2012
When we first met it was in school.
We hung out in the same group, neither of us were cool.
Admittedly the group was largely male.
Only six of the twenty, were female.
One of those six, was just little me.
Paid no attention, content, happy as can be.
You on the other hand, liked my best friend.
But that fancy finished, when she got a boyfriend.
Yes, we talked, and we had a laugh.
Now three years on... Maybe two and a half.
We keep bumping into each other, just around.
Sometimes, I'm sure you done it purposefully, but I haven't made a sound.
Agreeing one night, that we should go out.
Neither called it a date, meant nothing, meant nout.
So you picked me up, and from there you paid it all.
Maybe it was just me, just acting the fool.
You stayed a gentleman, right to the very end.
Seeing me in, before you drove round the bend.
We merely left the situation, as "see you soon".
Then tonight you appear, brighter than the moon.
Another purposeful bump? It was my shift on.
My boss laughed, singing a song.
"He only comes in, when you're here"
I said he shouldn't complain. There's nothing to fear.
But again we laughed, followed by chat.
We left it the same, "see you soon" and that.
These soons are getting sooner. This time it's been just days.
My mind is boggled. It's full of haze.
Nothing been declared, or even suggested.
Perhaps it's in my mind. Feelings... Congested.
I don't know what to make of all this.
Are we just friends? More? Should we kiss?
Or could this just be fate, taking us slow.
But I'm a commitment phobe. I need this to go.
If not fear will just fill me to the brim.
A chance missed maybe, merely on a whim.
See You Soon. • Opuss № I
