Chapter 2 - The Unobtainable

I just lied there, staring at the ceiling,

And then I turned my head towards yours, Although your eyelids hid

The most beautiful blue eyes i've ever seen, The ones that could give any demand

And I'd obey,

I began to think of our departure in lament,

As I looked at your sharp jaw structure,

And perfectly aligned nose,

The creases in your cheeks,

And thought:

This may be the most beautiful man I'll ever meet.

Then I awoke, back to the cruelties of reality, And began to wonder

If this image ever came to be,

If I had followed you to your hotel that night, If I ever got what I've been obsessing over this past year,

If we did meet up that night,

Would my thoughts of you

Sink into ordinariness,

Or would I even think about you as often as I do,

Or would I of found your flaws.

Or rather created some for you,

Just as I've done with all the others.

Once the chase ended,

Once they revealed they wanted me back,

I found some reason to lose interest.

Do I only crave the unobtainable –––––

Are you just as imperfect as the rest?
