Tension with Me
Poem: About meeting an ex and realizing your connection with your current bf isn't there.
I have been thinking what it was going to be like,
to see you again after all this time,
Would I see you and remember our last night,
Or was I overthinking, and everything would be fine,
Would I fall right back into those eyes,
feel instantly comfortable as if I never left,
Would I have to look at your face and deny,
that seeing you for me was a test,
I can't lie,
at least not to you,
I was questioning if this was right,
If my intentions for both parties were true,
Was I meeting you just as a friend,
should I be meeting you at all,
Where does my current relationship stand,
Should I be questioning my call,
But here you sit,
Across the table from me,
My avoidance of eye contact is easily seen,
I claim it under comfortability,
But I know if you were to really see,
my eyes,
You could see something in me I can't deny,
something that still applies to you,
and the confusion that lingers with my someone new,
I could feel the tension across the table,
Your understanding of me makes me feeble,
Because it points out something in me, I already know,
that my connection with this current bow,
has not the connection I need to make it grow,
That the tension between us may still be there,
But it's not something I need to go backwards to share,
that you may understand me,
But you are still not what I need,
But neither is he, sadly.
