The Letter Never Sent


I see you sitting from afar and i can't help
Felling the way i do about you right now
If i were told to explain in a few short words why i feel the way i do,
by the time i finished, I'd have a whole novel in your honor.
this is so unlike me that it's surprising, 
But I expect just a bit to come out of this whimsical development.
This I know to be certain: I couldn't let another day pass,
Not without sharing how i truly feel about you

If I were standing in a multitude of people, no one else would catch my eye
Something about you draws me so ever near--a gravity--pulling so strong
I can't help but go out of my way just to see you,
To attempt to engage in conversations and just to give myself the excuse to look Into your eyes...
There's just something about you that i can't quite place,
A mystery that has me enthralled---
From the moment i first saw you, i could sense that there was something different about you

When i'm near you, i get this unexplainable "vibe"...
IT's also very hard to strike a conversation, despite
MY heart knowing all the right things to say--the inordinate trail of words
Refuse to flow from my mouth.
I don't know what it is about you, but i like it...
But i can't stop wondering if i'm going about this all wrong, that my dreams
Have taken the best of me.

Maybe I'm too much of a romantic...
I can't even talk to you without feeling the least bit shy
It's funny how all the attractive ones intimidate me...
But you can't help being that way, someone no bone else has caught sight of,
Luckily for me--not that i've already claimed you...
I want to tell you so much, but putting it into the right phrases is always the hardest
Maybe i'm a fool for feeling...

My name is Paul J, hailing out of Fredericksburg, Virginia. In 2006, I finished up my technical training at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas, graduating as an Honor Grad so that was exciting. Yeah,I was fresh out of basic training and tech school. My first assignment was in Idaho but a drastic change happened in my life and that's all a distant memory. I am basically hoping to meet new people and still keep in touch with old friends. I really don't know what else to say....feel free to ask me anything. Writing has always been my passion, and i have a few pen names that i have created to write freely without worry of people judging me - well, in my teenage years. And now they just stuck. I like to write poetry and prose, and also have a passion for photography, drawing, music. Let's just say that i am artistically inclined. I am interested in making new friends and sharing ideas with other bards. I want to meet people i can relate to on a "shop" and interest level. They don't necessarily have to cross over or anything. i have no real preference when it comes to meeting people. I am a real people-person, having served in the USAF. Male or Female, whatever background, i don't mind. all are welcome. ***ALSO*** please comment on my works - feedback is highly recommended/appreciated
