A Missed Connection
I was working out when you walked by.
You smiled as you looked in my eyes.
At first I thought that my form wasn’t right;
so I lowered my weights to make them light.
As I went on, the next thing I knew…
Working out next to me was you.
You lifted, rested, and turned your head my way.
“Nice arms” was unexpected of you to say.
I was lost for words; You got up to spot me.
Hard to focus, your eyes were all I could see.
“Come on baby just two more!” you said.
Baby? – had me laughing in my head.
I thanked you, and gave you a smile.
then left but watched you for a while.
You followed me without a word.
I tried to speak but couldn’t be heard.
You suddenly disappeared, not a word for me.
I just lost something good! A missed opportunity.
I went back to the gym since; not a day did I miss.
I lost you but write me if you’re reading this!
