Glutentaug

Lonely; friends running around the crowd,

Smiles, chatter, laughter, to drown it all out.

You walk in, and your friends surround you,

I waited for a moment to see what you’d do.

Captivated by your smile large and bright,

Even more stunning are your eyes full of light.

Tall and strong, you look like a dream to me,

You move with a joy I’d never before seen.

You look my way, but she’s right there,

You’re smiling at me as I receive her glare.

You leave the room to make things clear,

“She’s just a friend, here, have a beer.”

I crack it open and take a metallic sip,

She sees this and throws her fit.

Desperate, not knowing how to handle,

You draw me near, and we create a scandal.

Our lips are locked and the party quiets down,

Finally, not so distant is the sound.

The sound of connection that is sincere,

Authenticity as a means to endear.

Six years pass, and we still fight about it.

About whom went for who, that night that our eyes met.
