I Thought You Might Be the One…

I thought you might be the one

Even though I only knew you for a short time

I opened my heart

Bought perfume

And tried on dresses for our date because

You told me you loved dresses and perfume

Pictures and videos floated between us 

Text messages made discoveries about the inner thoughts of each other 

Every time I saw it was you on my phone

I felt exhilaration and excitement 

And I started creating stories about the future

Those children, the ones I never had, were yours and they were beautiful

They looked like you, only nicer

And the date, not like the others

Warm, comfortable touching each other

The first kiss on the beach 

You said “listen to that, the silence, it is just us and the waves”

Then a slow warm embrace and a long kiss, so natural, so right

I blushed.. you said you loved that

Then another kiss at my car,  holding me for a long time

I left that date with one word, YES! Finally yes.

Pictures and videos sent to my friends, and they all said,

Yes, I can see you with him. Finally, yes

Then the next day you wrote, “I want to take you on a hike, it is called the tunnel”

Excitement growing every day

Wondering if he might be the one I have been waiting for

2 days pass no contact

Then he sends me a text that says nothing

Then another text of nothing

No plans are made or discussed

So I ask,” what is the deal”?

When are you going to take me on the hike?

All of a sudden, the text gets dark

He gets dark

His words are dirty, I am confused, I pull back

But he still texts nothings, more nothings

Says he doesn’t want a relationship, his life is good as it is

But he still texts nothingness to me 

Then I finally ask him to meet me for coffee 

And he gets mean, cruel words are written by him

And then he comes back the next day and flirts with me though texting and I make him

Gone
