Tables

You have the same thing on your minds, but you'll both never know.

~ Pick up the phone. ~

I watch the cars leave the driveways.

They speed away towards lives you'll never know.

You hear the rain on your window,

Drops so delicate, like the edges of my dress now frayed.

You go downstairs to a stale cup of coffee.

I stare at my bowl, like it holds some kind of warning.

My eyes on inked words, it's just another morning.

You turn your head to my chair, but I'm not there.

You have the taste of liquor in your mouth.

I have the taste of words I said.

We sit at our tables thinking about things we regret.

Only one day, but feels like forever now.

A ring is taunting you from the other room.

A tan line is taunting me on my left ring finger.

The ghosts of our words unsaid still linger,

Thick like humidity from a storm in the afternoon.

We're at different tables in scattered places,

But we sit together on opposite sides.

We sit here and contemplate changing our minds.

It can't be over. We've left far too many traces. 

I reach for the phone.

You put it down.

The rain pours outside.

Is it all over now?

Stale Thoughts and Tainted Minds

Things happen when you least expect them to. 

~ Stop thinking. ~

Stale thoughts, tainted minds. 

Memories renewed. 

Eyes wide, change of times. 

A new point of view. 

From where we start this,

How is this possible?

From all that has been,

How could this be?

Cotton tops, button up shirts.

A breath of fresh air.

Park benches, fireworks.

Stories we share.

Sweatshirts, pretty dresses.

On the fancy side.

Red napkins, gentle senses.

Smiles in our eyes.

My eyes gaze up,

Suddenly, I turn away.

Maybe this is luck.

Suddenly, I'm not afraid.

Lipstick, coffee cups.

Fancy four wheel rides.

First kiss, new trusts.

Feeling a different high.

Sweet words, gentle whispers.

A new way to listen.

Cold nights, warm blankets.

The past is forgiven.

This is very new.

I don't know what I'm doing.

This is very true.

I don't want it to end.

New thoughts, dirty glasses.

A tale of what's to be.

New dreams, jean jackets.

You are all I can see.

We've never felt this way before.

But I'm letting you in now

We've never wanted so much more,

But I want you now.

Pull

Open the door to what could be. 

~ Give in the the pull.~

This isn't what I had expected. 

I never thought I'd be this tempted,

but there you stand across the room,

and I already feel a pull to you.

You're beautiful and so magnetic,

The chemistry is so energetic.

I have never felt this way.

I'm just hoping that you'll stay.

All the other people begin to blur.

All I see is one single fleur

de lis that matches mine.

You're the one I needed to find.

I don't know how I let you in so easily.

All the others fought, as I stayed free,

but I give in in no time this time.

You already have a hold of my mind.

When I finally reach you, you don't leave.

I hope you'll stay around to see what's underneath.

Just look at how many times you've restored my faith

in something I thought only for a magical place.

You've made me believe magic is real.

I know it's real in everything we feel.

It's not just a tale for old souls to say.

Now it's our story we live each day.

You're beautiful and so tempting.

This was never what I was expecting,

but the stories they tell are true.

I have found my prince in you.

I couldn't have predicted this. 

You're the answer to my every wish. 

I  follow the temptingly magnetic pull to you. 

I walk to you from across the room.
