Floater... Poem by Nestor David Armas

I met a most exceptional woman;
Thought she was a keeper; make me a man,
She stirred my soul like no other
Made me forget the world even my mother,
I opened up again that part of me
That I promised no one would ever see,
Giving bits at first and then whole
Pieces of my heart complete with my soul,
She took it all it seemed with eager hands
Held mine while I daydreamed of foreign lands
We'd visit traverse the continents
But in this fairy tale there were holes and dents,
I was not to be a lover but a friend
Forever until the bittersweet end;
She had someone for whom her life was for
And I thought it best to close this door
But she pried the knob from my fingers
And what she said to me on my mind still lingers
Declared she needed me as much as he
That this was just how it was meant to be and we
Would travel this road together
This truly made me feel so much better
Made me so happy I could cry;
She was not just another floater in my eye...
