Deceived

I thought it was over
That he was the one

After all the dinners
The drinks
The laughs

My trip made sense to me
It was all for a purpose
So that we would meet

Before I left the city
I went to his place
And spent the night

How wonderful to be in his arms

But I was wrong
He turned cold
And I felt empty

He was injured
But I sensed there was something more

In the morning he was quiet
His heart turned to stone
No kisses
No hugs
No smiles

I walked him to the subway
And we said goodbye

I walked home alone
Wondering what had just happened
Three days of fun had ended so coldly

I was stunned into silence and confusion

It has been a week since we have spoken
I think I understand what happened

I didn't give myself to him

I guess he was just like every other guy
He tried to impress me
To get one thing
That I refused to give him

I am not that easy after all

Have you ever been in love?

Yes
With a boy
Who has long hair
And brown eyes

He went to Italy
And brought me wine

And now he's in New York
And I will meet him on Saturday at The Time

He is passionate
And warm
He holds me tight at night
Never lets go
Signs his emails "xo"

Where will this go?
It does not matter.

His kisses so soft
His words so kind
I am his fan
And he is mine.

My Vision

To allow you
To be a part of my journey
Through this beautiful life
In poems
Not prose

The loves
The heartbreaks
My innermost thoughts
And desires

My hopes
