insinuation
the other side of rejection
outstretched

I’ve been one to keep
wanting and waiting for things
just beyond my reach.

launch
into the unknown
from out of the familiar
let us now venture.
missed opportunity 100
sometimes when i’m bored,
there’s a girl who makes me think
i wouldn’t be anymore
if only i extended
the slightest of gestures.
i could ask her name,
her favorite color, or something
- anything to break the ice;
but i’m married to the habit
of wanting, not getting.
doesn’t matter how accessible
her smile may seem, or her heart may be;
i always find a way to settle
for far, far less
- and yet so much more -
than i could ever get.
(brought to you by the words bored, habit and settle)
