I wasn't expecting this to happen, this wasn't supposed to be the case,
How we connected instantly, at that very place,
It was meant to be just a hello and nice to meet you,
But for the next few hours I couldn't take my eyes off you,
The nose, the cheeks, chin and smile,
Spending every second looking at you was worthwhile,
The way you stood around I could only admire,
The heat became intense so did the size of the fire,
Have you ever been stuck in a trance?
When it was only supposed to be a simple glance?
The sun set and evening came,
I put you to the back of mind but consciously kept saying your name,
Avoiding you was the only choice,
It's how you spoke, something about your voice,
I walked to the other side and went really far,
What's the point, it registered, I was the moon and you the star,
Again I tried to avoid you but your smile lit up the whole room,
Did we actually connect or am I beginning to assume?
The night was drawing to a end but I never wanted it to be over,
So we both decided to go for a walk to stop it from being over,
We sat on the bed and talked for hours,
We got to know each other deeply like we had known each other for hours,
Our limits had to be recognized,
For that moment oh we despised,
The cards we had been dealt with that night,
There was to be no smiles at the end of the night,
We laughed, joked and spoke about Rome,
The reality was it was a dream and we both had to head to our own home,
Our lives are different,
Our paths are different,
We shared strengths and weaknesses,
It was too tricky, just too many sequences,
Deep down we both knew we had to walk away,
We have specific paths so couldn't stray,
You'll never know about this poem, that it exists,
I try to block you out but my mind insists,
I don't know when or if I'll see you again,
This hasn't happened before so I'm back at the beginning again,
I'll remember you, for you discovered parts of me that were hidden,
I'll remember you for you touched conversations that were forbidden,
Your final words were, 'Thank you for making me feel better and changing my life',
In fact beautiful this also changed my life,
I gave you a kiss on the forehead and we had a final hug,
I inhaled and smelt your hair as we loosened our hug,
I lingered for that second longer,
Just to capture your beauty for that moment longer,
The door closed behind me,
I walked down the corridor with one final look behind me,
Part of me hoped you'd be stood there,
But part of me also knew life wasn't this fair,
Goodbye to our first meeting,
I think of you here and there, wishing for another meeting...

Imagine meeting someone who understood you as a whole,
Even the dustiest corners of your mixed up soul....
