A Lament for Her

if you think this may be for you, you're probably right...

She sits near me now, as my heart flutters with anticipation.
That timid laugh, a joke told and ideas exchanged.
The raw intelligence of a great mind, yet the strong beliefs of a well-grounded female
She has left me speechless at her looks.
The party has started to die down and I am still dumbfounded.
She turns to leave before flashing the smile
that would absolutely light up my life.
I absorb the moment, yet say nothing.

The long night transitions into
cold morning as I am left alone again.
I stir in bed reliving the moment,
thinking of the words that wouldn't come.

O, how I pine for her!
She is the distant light leading me into the shore of a relationship.
All that needs to me said is still inside of me.
To sale toward her and be one with her,
I must throw off the covers of shyness and tell her how I truly feel!
