I am a mere
Kid
Who still believes
Rather foolishly
In love and
Romance
I deny it
Reject it
But I want
Handholding
Soft kisses
Gifts
Surprises
Affection
Love, too
A goodnight message
To remind me that
I was your last thought
That day
I want to
Learn about your
Likes, dislikes
Favorites
I want to know
You
The most
Insignificant
Details
Kid

To remind me that

You
The most

Details
You have known
Heartbreak
Like I haven't
You are
More
Practical
Than
Romantic
You see no
Reason
To make purchase
Unless occasion
Is special
You want
Dates
With no words
Stories
Shared
But kisses
And groping
Love-making
Without love
You want
Me
Behind closed doors
Where handholding
Whispering
Sweet nothings are
No more
Than foreplay
Even though we
Claim to be
Together
In 'like' with
Each other
Our definitions
Of what we are
Our expectations
Of what we are
Differ so greatly
And I feel
It is best if
You
Find
Someone who
Won't force
You to
Take things slow
Someone
Who would
And
Who could
Give you
What you
Want
Where
Public appearance
Is rarely,
If ever,
Chosen over
Privacy
And being alone
With each other
Meanwhile
I will
Cry over
Unrequited love
For you never
Did
Although
I, with my whole heart,
Loved you
I'll move on
Find another
Broken soul
Like me
Who would
Share his story
With me
Over a cup of
Steaming hot
Tea or coffee
Who would take me on dates
To bookstores
And we would
Fall in love
Slowly
But
Surely
