The Past Reawakened

I didn’t expect to see you. I had to kill some time. Then I saw you, And my pulse began to climb. My heart started to beat faster. My hands started to shake. Old feelings sprang to life. The butterflies did awake. I always wondered What it would be like To be with you, To share your life. I never had the courage To really flirt with you. I was self-conscious, But now I am new. I didn’t think you’d make me feel The way I used to. I thought I’d given up On ever having you. I moved on when I left, Found someone to care. However, everything returned, When I saw you standing there. Now I am where I used to be; Sitting, staring, loving you. Wishing you’ll come talk to me, And say that you like me too. I often think about Where we’d be if I met you before. If I would have been brave, Showed you I did adore. My feelings have resurfaced. I am a new me. Now I’m making a move; I’m curious to see what could be. Maybe I could light The spark between me and you. Maybe I could find A strong connection between us two. A new confidence I have found. Perhaps you sense it too. I truly feel something I wonder if my feelings match you. I’m gonna pursue this Until I leave this place. This second chance, I won’t neglect to chase. The past has reawakened Now that I saw you here. I’m back with newfound determination To the end I will persevere. I won’t give up Until I have no doubt That you and I weren’t meant to be And the connection, I was wrong about. ©
