We look for the one person who will fulfill our dreams. We know they are out there—somewhere.

 

And then, out of nowhere, they appear. We wish for a future together, one in which this special individual will become an important part of our lives and add . . .

 

 

A Touch Of Class

 

Seeing you across the room made my heart skip a beat.

Your flowing red hair highlighted the glow upon your face.

I wanted to approach, but the thought of being rejected frightened me.

Then you moved, with elegance, in my direction.

 

I stared in awe, as you walked toward me,

And readied myself for the encounter I awaited.

Enthralled by the mere presence of your being,

I tried to find the right words with which to address you.

 

Anxiety welled up within—all my emotions soared.

I straightened my tie, stood erect, and . . .

Smiled, but you were not looking my way and did not see me.

You walked right by, as if I did not exist, and headed out of the room.

 

My eyes closed in frustration, and when they opened,

I wanted to follow you, but hesitated, and then it was too late.

You danced like an angel through the ballroom doors

And disappeared from my life, but not my mind.

 

My heart felt empty—a chance at love missed,

A desire unmet, a dream unfilled.

I pray our paths will cross once again

And hope for the courage to engage you.

 

Intrigued by your sophistication, the lost opportunity has not discouraged me,

For I believe in my heart, we are meant to be.

We will meet one night on our journey through life,

And ignited by the flames of love, you will add a touch of class to my world.
