Enticing Elise


Could we be anything more than small talk? I swear when you walk away I can't turnaround and my eyes gaze n gawk. Is this love? Although I'm processing the information n not comprehending, perhaps I should've popped the question, she knows the strands leading to my heart need mending. Its the things she says, like "Just tell me how you feel and I'll listen" in a matter of minutes my vision went swimming I know time's ticking but her confidence is so doggone self-driven. Okay, Elise, why me? Contrast me and those other goody two-shoes. She replies "Look at yourself, I see that you're a rare case and a chill dude" Elaborate please? Because I can't make your knees weak, my libito isn't god-like I don't have an exciting life, yet you think I can prospectively proceed n potentially prosper with this vocabulary spike n preach it so proper?  Alright, so what? You've seen me in action I camp out here in dense concentration, it seemed like you were acting if so that's a great imitation. Not tryna sound obtuse but based off of observations this sounds right, from my angle Elise, you look acute, born with nourishing roots I won't question your reasoning, exactly what drove you to tag along with me down this route? Friendship's cool n all that's just not how I see us so why string me along? She quietly speaks "I didn't want you feeling alone which is also the reason I never wanted to hang up the phone" Wow. I've been rendered speechless before just unlike those this confirmed how sure I thought she wasn't real however Elise proved to be more than a blur. She knew how scared I was back then so the moment I tried making a run for it she'd reel me in again. I regret falling, who's gonna throw the escape rope? As soon as I lost hope I found a female whose perception of me was beyond dope.
