The first flame of chance

Burned at a high school dance

Our eyes locked

As you spun me in

A roundabout

Under that starry night

Spinning back

To embrace

Nameless tension

Between us

Suddenly...

For one moment

We were divorced

From the sticky

Teenage traps

Of our every day

Existence

It was only

You and I

Dancing

Together

As if we had

Eons before.

The world

No longer existed

For one brief moment

In time

Spinning on its own

Special axis

As we danced

Became lost

In the neon nexus

Of the night

But cold reality dawned.

The next week

You followed me

To my classes

Carried my books

From my locker

Asked me out

For aborted dates.

My friends jeered at me

For having such a devout

Amorous follower

In embarrassment

I shunned you

So not to be shunned.

I left you stunned

But myself

Even more.

You and I

Shared a

True connection

I chose to ignore

Instead

I paid tribute to

Jealous harpies

Over real romance

I never even

Gave you the chance

If I could fix

What is left undone

That would be...

Regret number one.

Awww Purplethunder3121 , that touched me. I think we all have that special someone whom we will wonder about, every now & then. And I wouldn't be surprised if they were thinking of u 2
