It started with a glance
We only met by chance

I was but a young boy
and she the new school toy

a girl from a far state
and me with none to hate

she'd be my target, my focus
and I the one she wished to get locusts

five years this did we endure
and then feelings changed from what they were before

a friendship, a bond
something that was time beyond

orbitting round each other like planets
think of one another with the odd regrets

is fate playing a game most cruel
or are these meetings simply fuel

gas to keep alight the flame
as we journey and play cupid's game

being shot once is never enough
ignoring it thrice is even more tough

maybe I am hers and she mine
but that's an answer only time may find

hate to star crossed lovers
confusion under ignorance's covers

I wonder if she wonders of me
as I think of her repeatedly

time may pass, the years may soar
but it's inevitable that I shall see her more

one day we won't walk away
one day we'll stay

there will be joy from out mothers
and congradulations from others

life can't simply be taunting
but the implications, they are so daunting

thinking of him yet again
won'drin if he is more than a freind

maybe he's not a leaf in this tree of my life
but more of a root meant to stand by me in strife

will I ever find another who means as much
can another be my stable crutch

life is teasing us, that's what this is
no love is fleeing us, cupid's fickle biz

I'll be thinking of him as I die
wondering, always wondering why

why did we meet, not once but ten times hence
why did we venture where I haven't gone since
