Letter to that Stranger

To The Beautiful Blond Boy I Met Three Days Ago:

I saw you once, and I was hooked.

Your skittish hair

was the first thing to pull me in,

standing on end

waiting for a hand

to quiet it.

Your alive blue eyes

flickering intelligence

were the next.

I lost my words in them.

Your bumpy nose-

Your strong knees-

Your crooked gaze-

Your twisting hands-

Your smile;

the one you shared with the person

on the other end of the call

when I saw you again.

God, that smile.

The factoring traits

appear faster

than a slot machine,

faster than

your slim soft fingers

tapping against your bare feet.

I saw you once, and I was hooked.

I saw you twice,

and the line and sinker

pulled me headfirst

six feet under my sanity.

Beautiful blond boy,

I'll admit

I don't know your last name,

but please see me someday

with those flickering eyes

and that fantastic smile.

I saw you once, and I was hooked.

I saw you twice, and I was sunk.

I saw you thrice...

Sincerely, That Friend Of Your Friend's Girlfriend Who Always Seems To Fall In Love With Complete Strangers
