Unrequited

You first invaded my thoughts almost 30 years ago.

We locked eyes across the room.

An electricity pulsed through me,

Instant connection without having said a word to each other.

I thought you felt it, too, during our flirtatious dance.

There were a couple mind-blowing encounters.

Kisses and caresses charged with chemistry and desire.

Then, out of the blue, you told me there was someone else.

That we didn't have a relationship,

It was only a few dates.

At least, that's what it meant to you.

I tried my hardest to move on.

But I was never able to feel the attraction I had to you.

Years later, you still creep into my thoughts.

Though to you, if anything, I'm a distant memory,

If you even remember me at all.
