she said he was mad for her
i said has he asked you out
she said he was too shy
why don't you ask him
i have he just laughed
he is not free anyway
do you have an expectation
that he will love you from afar
yes she said
isn't he having an affair
with the PR girl
yes but he really loves me
how do you know
the way he looks at me
I love conversation in a poem. This one paints quite the picture.
ReplyDeleteNice poem, the affair isn't helping the love, it only hurts it unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteExpectations play such crucial roles in love, don't they? :D
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your poem.
Of course you know when it is really happening. Unfortunately, fantasy can get in the way here. I am happy with this poem.

ReplyDeletethe mistake that some people make there is love and their is lust they are not the same.
ReplyDeleteSelf-deception can be sad .
ReplyDeleteoh my...sounds like too much drama for me...and just waiting for someone to get hurt...
ReplyDeleteTrust me I am a man...he is not to be trusted. The poem however is perfection.
ReplyDeleteScary! It is all in perception! Lovely poem!
