I can't get you off of my mind.
You tread in
uncharted waters.
Ripples begin to flicker
across the surface.
The tide comes in
just a little bit higher
than before.

Who allowed you to
cause a disturbance,
in my pathetic
barren heart?
You were not invited,
nor expected.

You're no good for me.
I wouldn't be of any
assistance to you
either.

I can't help but
be intrigued.
Your very being
compels me to
become interested.

curiosity is all this is.
You're not supposed
to effect me like this.
But I can't help it.
We can't let anyone know
that I care.
It's between you, and me.

publicly, you're just like every
other guy.
Every other guy that never got through.
