Close To You

On the first day of May

I tried to approach you

As you sipped your fizzy drink

Standing on the length of the bar. 


You looked like a walking dream

I would get drunk by just staring at

Your beauty; sinking in your honey-golden eyes

And yet, I can't seem to get close to you. 


On the second day of May

I tried to make you laugh

As I told you my many travel stories

At the same bar way past its closing time. 


You sounded like a living wonder

I could listen to you all night long

Your view of life and the plans you had

And yet, you'd slip through my fingers.

A/N: To be frank here, writing poetry in a go is turning out to be second nature for me and I can't even pinpoint where or how it happens, so here you go - a somewhat romantic story of a relationship that didn't last or didn't even go anywhere. The moral of it is that you shouldn't go to people at the bar... or if you do, try a different approach, haha. 

Happiest of May to you!

With love, 

M.
