BEAUTIFUL WOMAN

Beautiful woman,
I have a Christian
crush
on you.

It’s simple.
It’s pure.
It’s true.
But still
here I stand, after all these years,
feeling
unsure
about you.
What you might be thinking
feeling,
if anything.

Is there anything,
a flicker of hope,
to explore?
And what are the do’s and don’ts
of what I must do.
Even if it’s an absolute
impossibility,
in your mind,
that we could somehow share
a moment or two
of peaceful bliss
or maybe be involved in
a chaotic fusion
that would eventually be the makings of
the moments that would cause us to reminisce.

All I can really say to that is
hey…
it’s cool. (It's the only way I can play it...it isn't cool.)
You’ve got to do
what you must do.
Just let it be known
That on this day
I did say
That I have a Christian
crush
on you.
