Failure To Launch Poem by Lubinda Lubinda

Even though our very first interaction
was as quick a jolt of lightning
we nevertheless felt the electricity
that was there in the air
coz, there was so much energy
as we crossed paths with one another
that how we knew we had chemistry
anyway, our minds were filled with curiosity
as our elements suddenly combined
as our hearts just mysteriously
intertwined
after both smiling momentarily
and looking into each other's face
I gasped, looked at her
in the eye
and timidly said; 'h-h-hhi! '

Realizing, that I had stammered
I thought she had noticed
that I had blundered
I quickly and bashfully said goodbye
she smiled and waved back

Well, it's been four months,
2 days,6 seconds
since that day
and I never got the courage
to see her in person again
though, I still see her around
coz, I didn't know what to say
coz, I thought she would
always remember me
as the guy who ran away!
