Can Intense really describe
What I felt
Just as we locked eyes?
This inability
To keep my eyes level
With yours
To keep from smiling
When nothing
Was said
Overly self conscious
Yet unaware
Of movements I make
While I sneak glances
At your face
Something uncharted
Unexplored
But somehow
From being scared
Not giving it a chance
I feel
You walked out the door
here is hope for 2nd chances
oh! must be missing something great i tell you 🙂
loved the lines..the sharp intake…
Describe perfectly with lines like ‘…. overly self conscious yet unaware of the movement I make..’
You know, this remind me of what happened when I met a guy a few years back… Almost somewhat the same scene, same motion of feelings.. 🙂
Love this.. well, here is mine..

lovely delivery of sneaking glance,
Thanks for sharing..
you submitted one week ago, now it is linked to poets rally week 40.

This is a great read! 🙂
Those stolen glances that heat a room ,,,, but move away before flowers bloom,
They tug gentloy upon the heart…………….but unfulfilled they fall apart.
Beautiful sad poem.
I loved the lines:
Overly self conscious
Yet unaware
Of movements I make
You captured the emotions of such an encounter perfectly.

My Poet’s Rally Poem: Beachy Winter.
But you locked the eyes.. in first stanza itself… then …I am sure the feelings on other side would be same only unexpressed wrapped under a facade.. it happens.. well written and well expressed..
Not giving it a chance
I feel
You walked out the door
These three lines did it for me.I can relate to those “if only…” moments. Beautiful read!!

Happy Saturday, please visit poets who were here for you.

I really liked this. You captured a feeling I know a lot about. Eye contact can be very scary yet exhilarating. Amazing poem!
Ha ha. Cute. Something that happens with me quite a lot of times. 🙂
no image was needed.. your words told it all, Alex 🙂
Here’s My Poem For Poets Rally
Wow, I totally know what you mean. I do the same thing, hesitancy and excitement all rushing in me. This was great, thanks for sharing 🙂
Epitomises a lot of the “first crushes” we have. 🙂
Very nicely written. Cheers!
Pretty much encompasses all that is a ‘Love at first sight’ type of feeling.
A really nice description of those early encounters with someone. So full of emotion, and so present in the experience. One never knows quite what will come out of a first encounter, but I do have to say, I was surprised when the one in the poem walked out the door! Sounds like, so was the speaker of the poem.
