Online Dating Truth
Down
Down
Down
My half-hearted finger motions
As the lonely 'others' scroll passed
Out of sight.
To be replaced
Over and over
By countless 'others'
Still, down
Down
Down
On and on and on
There is no end
No bottom
Attention failing
with my hopes fading
Set to search again
Another day...
perhaps?
Then...
An unbelievably attractive smile
Perfect, brilliant eyes
Stealing my own
Owning my full attention
Timidly my finger does touch
There.
She is the entirety of my vantage
All about Her
All she feels she wants me to know
Is taken in with such ease
She smiles up at me
Like heaven is real
Braile as each word i feel
They are humble and sincere
Real
I feel my way
Down
Down
Down
She seems so...
Exactly as...
My thoughts racing
Entertaining my own qualities
Checking off her wants
As hers my own
Dare I?
She truly is so
So so so
Lovely.
Maybe?
No. I remind myself
My 'less than' sides
Insecurities and defenses
End those fantasies.
She is above
Too
Too
Far above
Me...
Out of my league.
Pwr btn... Goodbye.
