Also, Something

Inspired by that wonderful beginning of a relationship, the "getting to know you" time between two people when the attraction is unspoken & yet so evident.

From the very beginning it was more hit than miss,

From the conversation to the dancing it all looked like bliss,

She smiled and engaged animatedly for the first time in a long while,

He was smooth but not smug and I could tell she liked his style.

He was a conversationalist and he fed her soul,

The light in her eyes made me feel like she had struck gold,

To finally be awakened from her daily dull slumber,

I was so glad she was the only one who took his number.

The days went by and she spoke of him more and more,

He seemed to be texting her fairly regularly,

There was chemistry on and off the dance floor,

She liked that he could match her intellectually.

I watch as she talks about him day after day,

When I suggest there is affection she says no way,

She strongly insists he is not the relationship type,

Yet that stupid grin off her face she can’t seem to wipe. 

So every day she insists they are friends who get along,

And beyond that there is really nothing,

Meanwhile the chemistry escalates and is going strong,

And while there is nothing, there is also something.

SB is a conflicted soul of sorts, who is mad enough to go chase after what she really loves as opposed to conform to society and her mother's idea of a successful person. She prays she makes it in life, because she will not be able to tolerate the nagging that would follow if she doesn't. Her inspiration comes from everything around her, as well as made up situations in her head. Good luck distinguishing between the two.
