When We Made Poetry

Believe I could not you were there
Just holding my stare
Was mesmerised by you!
Every few steps kept glancing at you
You said not a word just starring my way
So sure in my minds, mind it was you.Yet
It seemed to me you were avoiding me
Waiting for me to go on by
This feeling staying with me for sometime
Disturbing my mind
An impossibility getting you out of my mind
Believe I could not without uttering a word
Passing me by
Not a hello how do you do!!
So hard to entertain difficult to frame
Word fleeting through my mind
Phrases from a stranger, much easier to obtain
I saw you coming through the alley
Rustling the Autumnal fallen leaves
You looked frozen in the misty fog
Exiting through those magnificent doors
Looking at me shivering with cold
Winters night darkness seeping through
Like a hazy mist hovering upon you
At the downing of the sun its shadows casting over you
You looked to me as I haven't seen you before
So dapper so debonair!
& I looking for a reason getting closer to you
Just an excuse to touch look at you
In the silence of the night, the breeze whispering away
I held you close to my heart
Cupping your face in my hands
Standing close as we began to dance, slowly as one
These intricate steps the new craze
I held you close as we shimmered across
As the music takes hold living in the moment
So attuned the music our minds
Just you & me dancing
No time to whisper & say
After such a long time we're drifting away 
Memories within me I extolled no way
Or will ever say, please stay!
Something else on my mind before you go away
Just sit beside me whilst inhaling the scent of you
Touch you, for when you're away from me
I shall exist not completely nor happily without you
In the darkness of my nights, I'd often recall
That night of nights when we had it all
That night when we made poetry!!
