Those lucky few who meet their match;
Of wit, of heart, of circumstance.
Entwined they are in fates unknown;
For none should face the void alone.
Seek the one that comforts thee;
In moments steeped in misery.
Life presents us tragedy;
With Love – the only remedy.
There was a time, not long ago.
A decade now? Yeah, maybe so.
It started with a gallery;
A Deviant directory.
Expressive strokes of pen and brush,
Lead me to my first real crush.
Captivated by her style;
I couldn’t help but gaze and smile.
I had my hopes of meeting her,
Like most folks would, I’m guessing.
She was half the world away, however,
Dissuading me from trying.
We talked a bit through online means,
Discussing art and such.
We flirted but unfortunately,
She did not share my crush.
Rejection stung but only slightly,
Seemingly overpowered
By the pride I felt inside of me;
The down side, overshadowed.
