I miss that feeling desperately.
You know, when fascination
gives way to infatuation
and you find yourself impatiently
awaiting the next occasion
to be with her, although
you only parted moments ago?
I miss this so damned much:
That wrenching in the gut
that drives a brotha nuts
long before you even touch
her for the very first time.
Scenarios run through your mind
at every mention of her name,
and there’s no way to contain –
no matter how hard you try to restrain it –
that silly, wide-as-a-Texan-sky smile.
You know THAT feeling?
I ain’t had that in a while.
I know I’m playing a dangerous game
allowing my brain to entertain
such reminiscence,
but despite the valiant resistance
it still remains a persistent
whisperer in my ear –
wearing at my fortitude
when I struggle not just to appear
a good man, but to actually BE one…
