Feelings Poem by Tim Romines

Feelings


A passing glance, a simple nod
The partial light through a lifting fog.
One glance, two glance three glance stare
You wonder if she knows you’re there.

A simple touch while walking by
Longing to reach out but dare not try.
What will she think, does she know you are near
Frozen and can’t move, trembling with fear.

Thoughts of her enter your mind
Is this what your heart wants to find.
Could this be yet another decoy?
You wish it but will it temporarily to fill a void?

When will you know, when will it stop
Your heart doesn’t beat like a tick of a clock.
Nothing stays that steady nothing stays that true
Deep down inside you see a different view.

What if this is it, what if she is the one
Will your heart be that filled will your search be done?
Time will tell the only story it can know
Reveling to your mind what your heart shows.

So until that day keep your chin up
Finding that one is not skill and not luck.
It is all part of a bigger plan that’s been made
For us to figure out and decide how it is played.
