You said hello
And I started to resist
But you lured me with friendship
And I believed I was worth it
You painted a picture or hope
You made me human again
Then as suddenly as you came
You slammed the door shut
Left me without a ghost of a chance
To trust anyone again
And now I sit and wonder why
You never even said goodbye

I am finally back to taking part in Fandango’s Friday Flashback (FFF)… giving a chance for new people to see old posts and remind loyal readers of days gone by. This poem was original posted here as a response to a daily prompt from Fandango of the word “moment”… I hope you enjoy it!
The moment I said hello
My world changed
When your attention
Your touch
Your taste
All drew me in
Somehow we just fit
And every moment was alive
I can’t say why it ended
Sometimes these things just do
But it left me with
Insatiable memories
Me still wanting you
I’ll settle for the next best thing
A friendship built on love
That never went away
But some days I still wonder
Can we get a second chance
A chance to once again
Rekindle what might have been
With your attention
Your touch
Your taste
All that drew me in
That night so long ago
When I first said hello
The moment I said hello
My world changed
When your attention
Your touch
Your taste
All drew me in
Somehow we just fit
And every moment was alive
I can’t say why it ended
Sometimes these things just do
But it left me with
Insatiable memories
Me still wanting you
I’ll settle for the next best thing
A friendship built on love
That never went away
But some days I still wonder
Can we get a second chance
A chance to once again
Rekindle what might have been
With your attention
Your touch
Your taste
All that drew me in
That night so long ago
When I first said hello
