Disclaimer: "insert witty disclaiming message here"
I saw you in the town today,
You did not notice me.
I felt a fleeting longing for,
The way things used to be.
When I was walking distance,
From your smile, day and night.
But I squandered the desire,
In a sudden seizing fright.
It does not due to dwell on dreams,
They never do come true.
But they are such beautiful lies,
Designed to captivate you.
I admit your sight did stop my heart,
If only for a beat,
And squeezed all the breath from in my lungs,
Quick and swift and neat.
But I cannot go back to the life,
That we had before.
It would not be like my fantasies,
It would make my heart sore.
I do not need perfection,
But I could do without the pain,
So I choose the safe route,
You won't be seeing me again.
AN: Here, I'll even ask nicely: please?
