His eyes drew me in first
They weren’t warm or welcoming or even sexy
But they held questions I wanted to answer—
And answers I wanted to question
And the words he said weren’t sweet
They weren’t even all that clear, all the time, anyway,
But they were real
And even recalling them today will cause me to lie awake tonight
He didn’t make me feel like a goddess
But damn did he make me feel uncomfortable
I don’t deny the attraction, however misplaced,
But I’ll forever deny how close I came to wavering
Doubtless was the doom, the timing, even the possibility
But that didn’t stop the dreams, or even the wandering fantasies
I’m not sure if it will ever stop—
I’m not even sure if I want it to
