Each time you pass me in the hallways of cyberspace and brush your arm against mine,
I stop and wait for my beating heart to steady itself.
You will never be mine.
And you will never not be…
“I write.
I read.
I think.
A lot.
too much
I fall in and out of love with things
I have fancies
whims
winds of change are a constant companion
like you, i am swept up by the lives of others
i become their fascinations
they obsessions
*their
and then, once i am spent, i am removed by choice or fate.
i grudge it no more
i am here, i think, to touch many lives
my question is, who am i to be touched by?
and what will i choose to keep today?”
“…I’ve been tracing your words with my fingertips and I don’t think you’ve noticed.”
“see how my insides genuflect at all you say
I could not bear you to be a passing fancy
this is why i keep a distance
I will let them have you
for i want to keep you, and that i know i cannot do.”
“I’ve ever met someone who can match up to your beauty—and I don’t think I ever will.
I can assure you that none of them take my breath away like you do.
And you really do.
People say it all the time: “you took my breath away”
But you actually do.
I often forget to breathe around you.”
“I believe you even if you’re lying, only because I want to.”
between desire and disaster 
“You will never be mine.
And you will never not be…”
What I’ve always wanted to say…
Beautiful.

Hi Mentalexotica.
I didn’t know where else to write to you so I am writing here, beneath this entry of yours which made me fall in love with your writings. This poem got me hooked to your blog. Its the first one I read. And I have read almost everything you’ve written so far.
Your words make me shiver. With pleasure. Sometimes with pain. The things you write are intoxicating. I try to soak in your words. You are so beautiful.
This poem.”I write. I read. I think.” I know it by heart. It’s special to me.
I have liked someone for a long time and I may get to see him this month. I haven’t seen him for almost two years.
I finally extorted a date out of him, but on the downside: He’s with someone else.
He should be with me, but he isn’t. He finally told me he wants to be with me, but he isn’t.
But I can’t hope anymore. I am killing it. I have to move on.
Sorry I digressed a bit but this was relevant.
This poem of yours. It makes me think of him.
So on my date, I am going recite this poem to him. For him. It’s always been my fantasy.
I am going to put my everything in your poem and bare it all out.
Just this one last time.
I am hoping for a kiss. Make me lucky Mentalexotica. I deserve a bloody kiss.
He can’t kiss me,he said cos he’s committed. But I will take it. I am ready to be pushed away.
I can’t tell you enough how special this poem is to me. Thankyou so much for writing it.
I love. Love. Love You.

The worst thing that could ever happen to someone is them getting exactly what they wished for. Life isn’t unkind. I send you all my charms and prayers. May you have it all.
