I can’t describe what it feels
like to see you standing before me
Finally, I can break the cycle that keeps me
After all the fantasies, I’ve dreamt
for something palpable, just
a county over that I work for—
I saw you in the library
and wanted to pull you off the shelf
Read you in the lounge before checking you out
Right now, I have the courage to ask
a simple question
and hope it’s not too enigmatic
Ambiguity that could
lead to a dead end or new territory
If rejection were in the forefront
I’d redirect my precision
forget all about you and then
I’d never have to wonder again
what it could be like to share your essence
Tactile enough, I float down from my cloud
and place my feet upon the ground
A call I long to take on
something I have never done
