Being Me: The Memoirs of a Caribbean Child

The Stranger That Loved Me

The person, didn't know me

and I didn't know them.

We didn't know each other too well.

But there was some source of attraction.

The person saw me from a distance.

They were mesmerized by my looks, sort of speak.

And everything for them fell into place;

Opportunity, Courage, and sense of Personality.

But something stopped them.

It stopped them in their tracks.

Overthink, No, Second Thoughts, Never.

They were absolutely sure about this.

Me, on the other hand, had no clue.

I never knew the person Liked me.

It was as if I was left in the dark

to figure out what to do and say.

No room was given to explore these feelings.

The person never told me how they felt;

how they honestly felt about me.

Because too much time had passed.

And the attraction began to fade away.

As for me, I found out couple years after.

But it really didn't bother me.

I just took it as nothing.

Because so much time had passed.

I thought about it for a bit,

came to terms with a Feeling I had;

Then I asked the person,

What they thought about me.

The person, being honest like always,

said I was Honest, Loving and Caring.

It made me feel warm inside

that I told the person I Liked Them

They were surprised, shocked.

Didn't see it coming towards them.

Then they tell me, we should stay friends.

My heart sinks, but rises because I was happy.

Should the person try with me, Maybe.

And maybe I want to try too.

We met up at a secret place.

Did something, and it sort of was amazing.

I don't know what it was,

But for that Moment, I honestly felt Loved.

As if I was on a Natural High.

Being Loved in that Moment felt good.

I Honestly wanna try something;

Something that was never Possible

I want a Secret Relationship

No one would know but Us.

But I feel a Strong Attraction.

But the person doesn't want to try

because they're afraid of that zone.

And never want to enter.

We should try it, see where it goes.

And if we succeed, then by all means go;

Go for It, and try to Make It.

Because Anything Is Possible.
