The winding path - 1. Anticipation

I guess I could have entitled it "Great expectations" :)

Anticipation

A date for the present - A present for my date

 

Hours, minutes, seconds, slowly are ticking by,
Yet, too many remain until I see your smile,
Until we truly meet, my blue-eyed Gemini.

Over the past few days I've been so distracted,
Forgetting where and when I am supposed to be,
Looking in the mirror, and seeing but a grin
Or an impatient sigh where sadness used to be.

Today, you will take me to a place of history
We will walk the gardens, take some rest on a bench
And remember ancient stories of secret love.

And after our dinner, when time calls for good-byes,
I will slip in your hand this small piece of paper
Silent words expressing my thousand wishes.

A wish to lose myself in the blue of your skies,
To melt with you into the high heavens above,
To strive together for a future paradise.
In other words a wish that... really, this is Love.

I wrote this on the day I met this guy for the first time in August 2010. I printed the poem and gave it to him after our first dinner together, as we parted ways.

Ohh... A true story behind this... What happened next?

 

I like how much boldness you have to do such a thing.

 

About the poem, the anticipation and the exitement was really there. It felt real. Thank you for sharing!

Yes, true story. Hehe, boldness indeed. Maybe that was overkill for a first date, even though we had been chatting quite a bit prior to the date. Anyway, we dated for some time. In the end it didn't work out, but I don't regret the poem.

The eagerness and hope for love. The possibility of a new beginning. The wonder of the company of another. It is all so real it those first ticks of the clock.

 

I like this, this first bloom of attraction. And I like that it leaves us to decide the fate of love's first joy.

Thanks. :) I wrote the poem in the heat of the moment, while I was feeling this anticipation. There was also a battle within between the wish to believe in love and the rational thought telling me I was getting way ahead of myself.
