realistic optimist meeting, speaking briefly,
mutually intrigued.
you left my party early
perhaps you were fatigued?

speaking yet again
at sara's graduation,
cementing in each other
our shared infatuation.

having been invited to
a cruise paid for by drugs,
we wind and we dined
after working out the bugs.

high on food and scotch,
i asked you on a date
this time we'd both know it was
potential would be great.

i fixed for you a white sauce
worthy of your palate.
we watched a cheesy movie, but
not even that could foul it.

the next date was set to be
pajamas truth or dare
the carrots brought, a symbol
of discomfort later shared.

you left early the next morning,
leaving more than just my house
a basket full of goodies,
and a bad taste in your mouth.

then a party at your house,
i said i'd be down.
the next day a blissful one
out on the town.

we ate at holmans, took in
a movie, and capped with singing,
my heart was pounding so much,
that my ears were absolutely ringing.

soon thereafter,
i was made an accessory
something pretty on your arm
to wear to the party.

immersed in self actualization
i didn't know the cost,
sifting through the party talk
i found myself... lost.

proving once again
love is definitely fickle;
next thing i knew,
you were kissing on my pickle.

without ever looking on
one another's face,
our relationship dynamic
had turned into a race:

get to know each other
before falling to the hex.
premature love spoken,
then we sealed the end with sex.
