Turn away from me
Sweet love of mine
I don’t deserve your smile
Or a moment of your glance

I was crazy to forget you
Crazy still, about you
I can’t forgive myself
SO why should you

Your hand on my lower back
My arm wrapped around you
Barely a word spoken
Unease fills the silence

Words we failed to say
In the company of friends
Emotions left unexpressed
The void inside us remains unfilled

Hallow words are exchanged
As I walk away to find a friend
A young girl say hello
As I leave the building

To be young again,
I would still be alone
I know this to be true
Cause I wouldn’t change a thing
I semi true retelling of a recent event, a mark of desire was reignited in me by an old infatuation (possibly love, sadly probably will never know), which followed by a desire to be young again and realizing the futility of such a wish (even knowing what I know)

Obvisouly this is not a verbatum retelling, just a twist of the truth. I just hate that my desire for companionship has been reignited by a simple chance encounter.

/sigh Forgive my blathering. Just a lonely persons rambling.

I know the feeling. I love this poem, and don't worry about the blathering. I mean why else do we come here? ;)
