Wasted Opportunity (I)

A year ago there was no pressure

So I did not talk with you and measure

Six months hence from you a post

still didn’t know what mattered most

One month left, still clueless she

Left unsaid how you intrigued me

Now tonight our last in meat-space

d’Oh! My double is in my place!

Alone

Seated but 5 meters from me,
yet so distant and inscrutable.
Will I be satisfied to let you be?
Or test if you’re approachable?

An Older man with pudgy bod
demeaner downcast and blue
Would you, young lass, think it odd,
that I dare approach you?

The meeting over, we pack our things
fold tables away and say good bye
speak now! my inner desire rings
dare not! for should the test fail I will surely die

And so we part our separate ways
my heart as hard as stone
for though sweet it were these last few days
I can only feel…. alone
