Poetry and Prose By Jake Dorian

She

I remember the first time we met

Her captivating beauty took my breath away and the air of mystery and vulnerability surrounding her lead me into a deep fascination, infatuation, enchanted by her every movement.

There was sadness behind her eyes, a lost and distant look that made me desperate to reach out, to take her pain and troubles away from her and wrap her safely in my protective embrace

But I practiced restraint. After all, she barely knew me, nor did I know her

But from that moment I knew she had captured my heart and she would stay there cemented for a very long time.

The years have past by now. We met only a handful of times and I doubt I made enough of an impact on her life for her to even remember my name

But not a day goes by when I don't think of her

When I don't dream of her

When I don't see her striking face whenever I close my eyes.

I live in hope that we meet again, that I can hold her in a sweet embrace and tell her everything will be okay

But no matter how long I must wait, there is one thing I know for sure

She had me from the moment we said hello

And my heart will never let go of her

No matter where life may lead me.
