Glow

These past few seasons I have been sitting on a bench Observing others and not minding myself I have been content yes But full no There is something lacking Perhaps a certain glow? I have noticed this absence One that I feel is constantly addressed But what can I do? Besides sit here and wait The future will foretell You must not rush this issue It needs time to grow For those impatient Or longing for this glow It can gnaw on your conscience Turn your brain into snow Oh this longing I try to keep it suppressed One cannot dwell On those matters you cannot control Best to keep to yourself And watch the ongoing show But I saw you from the comfort of my bench Something about you compelled me Soon you caught my attention This pent up feeling flared Bursted into life almost And now you having me standing up Moving away from such complacency And towards the unknown Come and walk with me Show me your all I care not where you come from Or how you rise or fall I am intrigued Very much interested This scent you wear Keeps me enlisted How to describe you Or call your name It boggles my mind Perhaps it is turned into snow This effect you have I can neither savor nor bare it These feelings you inflict I feel outdated, out of wit But there is a quirk in your smile And a sweetness in your face That I cannot ignore And perhaps has blinded me all the more But let bygones be bygones Let's journey down this path For where it leads to Only we shall ever know
