could her distance have been a gift
forcing him to be set adrift
if only she had wrapped her arms around
surely he would have settled down
soothing a complicated man
should have be her master plan
but no embrace was felt
how could his heart be melt
her sleep deprived glances
told the story of their chances
why does she let him intimidate her
when his plan was to date her
was it the hour that causes
those several awkward pauses
as he inches towards the door
desiring an excuse to see her more
now parked in the driveway
looking for the right words to say
does he go back to knock again
or does he let it end
fast forward to a mile away
exhausted he calls it a day
still hanging on the chance
they will find romance
standing on the sundial
he searches the crowd for her smile
but when the bridge passed two
he knew that they were through…
