A Fleeting Encounter
Hear me out for a minute; I wasn’t just thinking about me
I was thinking of my heartbreak and recent insecurity
I was thinking, damn, despite this, I’m feeling you immensely
Knowing I had baggage and honestly not wanting you to see
I didn’t want to share everything, embarrassed by my feelings
Wanting so badly to move on, but emotions held me back explicitly
It wasn’t what you were expecting
But instead what I gave freely
Nothing was forced
Never has been with you
Feelings of love can be shared between one, even two
It’s just the way of my nature, though it doesn’t halt the pursuit
We went on shopping sprees, inspired my new converse shoes
I allowed you to choose and that’s not something I usually do
It’s not about making anyone jealous
It’s overcoming old feelings and welcoming new ones
And girl I know you are honest
To the point of thinking you know every damn thing
Even when you are wrong
No matter how hard I tried to make you see
Couldn’t make you feel what was torturing me
For one
Your ingenuity was instantly attractive to me
Still is, to this day
I’ve always admired your golden girl, G
But whatever
You make it seem as if I was all about self
When we first started
Remember
Your own baggage was still stored on the shelf
Your rocky past was in the open; I witnessed it personally
Made a trip to that safe place with you
Showed I cared for your safety
You even commented on my poetry
Said she must have been special to me
Remember all those things you said
“Knowledge, I could love you so easily.”
I wasn’t craving attention or affection
They are outpourings I receive naturally
Trying to make her jealous of our connection?
Thinking you know how I felt… Hardly
I cared about what you thought of me
I wasn’t sure what you wanted in the beginning
So at first sight I resisted urges that were powerful and sexy
If you only knew the passion you concocted within my person that night
Although we persisted in due time
I remember those special places hiding delicately inside of you
The ones I tried to spare myself from getting further into
Don’t act clueless as to your own power
You know your seduction comes natural
When we met it was magnetic
No other words can quite explain the motions your curves were taking my body through
I never wanted any less for you
But it would’ve been nice to see your sappy side
And if everything wasn’t so bogged down in pride
‘Cause my emotions are unconditional
And that goes for my instant like of you
I know my feelings were mutual
But you weren’t completely honest either
While deciphering your poem’s hidden message
Your words poured the elixir of your ether
Yet our connection was undefined
Did that tell you anything sweetie?
How was I selfish when you were the one telling me
You didn’t care about any other women liking me
And maybe
I shouldn’t have assumed I was right
About anything
That you would ignore their affections for long
Instead you completely push me away
I guess we never had a proper chance anyway
Just know what I have told you as often as I can
I should have handled some things differently
This; I freely admit
