To share a moment with you...A Secluded Paradise Exercise

.

..to share a moment in time with you

I have been here
while you have danced
with the best of em
glanced at the rest of them
Damned if I wanted to know
every time you opened
or closed
another revolving door
Relaxed
and chilling
Still got that
same old loving feeling
Noone does it like you
Your purpose
in my life
we both knew
Not some
half-assed attempt
to get up and leave
after all the good times
were through
You weakened my resolve
broke my
concentration
in two
Nights when I should be
sleeping in my bed
you deliberately kept me up
thinking about you
Every word you spoke
consumed me
dancing in my head
And regardless of fickle attempts
by circumstances
situations
to move me
away from your space
I remained silent
and true
waiting patiently
to share a moment with you
I tossed and turned every night
wanting to see your face
wanting to be
juxtaposed
in your sweet embrace
Fingers touching
the lines of your face
I traced them
in angry haste
Ingenuity
of modern technology
Hot words
scorched across
a cold computer screen
only allowed me
to see
that I woulda been happier
if you had been with me
