He

The meeting began over the phone at work

A relief conversation spin-off after a stressful

Work dilemma we figured out together

I was always concerned about his day

He always spoke with a pleasant tone

With a smile in his voice

I always pictured his smile as being warm

Some things cannot be faked

He had been with me all my life

Although twenty years passed before I met him

I constantly missed what I did not have

I searched for that feeling, then one day

That tall man with a childish smile

Walked into the office

And finally, I was exposed to what

Everyone has been celebrating

That warm fuzzy feeling you get inside

When you see that special someone

I began to believe it didn’t exist

I have been married and engaged believing

It was a fairly tale

I began to live life with the mindset

That love is being with someone who gives

The impression that they will do exactly

What he says, enjoy laughing

Talk out all concerns and compromise

As much as he can

Now I am forced to live without it

That loving feeling

Because he has that feeling

For someone else

Life sucks! It really sucks to be me

To speak of him to others make them laugh

Comments of my inferiority

His expectations are always questioned

My ethnicity and outspoken tone

My environment is too overgrown

To confirm his interest

I asked for time

In hopes that one day
