I'm always excited to have a new crush. I call it a crush because it rarely turns into anything more than that. Sometimes it happens at first site. Other times it doesn't happen until the second siting or even years later!

This time it happened almost right away. He showed up at my work right before I was closing up. He was in a security uniform and was there to help me clear people out. He immediately made me nervous. I couldn't tell his age. He's the first guy to introduce himself to me with a nice firm handshake in a really long time. He also seemed to be following me around...and the more he did that, the more nervous I got. I guess you can say I am a bit shy at first.

Anyway, I haven't stop thinking about him, really...and how we had the entire building to ourselves. I should have been alot more friendly.

I almost touched you today
reaching behind you
to grab hold of something else
and then I walked across the room
looking back at you once more

to smile

at how your hidden eyes had followed mine
until they met

and you walk by
still without a touch
I swallow the minute
that was given to me
to spend with you
