As I sit and watch this game
My thoughts drift out towards you
Wondering what you’re doing
Hoping you think of me too
Feelings well inside of me
Of words that I want to say
Of thoughts, things I want to do
Of being with you on this day
Strongly feel more than I’ve felt
In a very long, long time
To move, to dance with you tonight
Would truly be most kind
I hope you’re feeling better
I hope you’re up to this
I pray we get together
So you I do not miss
Were I to look into your eyes
Could you tell me what I’d see?
Are you thinking of someone
Or are you thinking of me?
Do you smile when you see me?
Your stomach feel a-flutter?
Do you feel a need inside
With every word that’s uttered?
Do you need someone to hold you?
Do you want someone to care?
Do you need someone to be there
When no one else will dare?
What do you want to do?
How will you let me know?
Whatever path we take
Only time will show
I long to hear your voice
I long to see your face
To look into your eyes
To feel my heart race
I thought I could not find
I felt that I was doomed
To live my life without
Someone so like you
To have such connection
With someone you don’t know
Is something very special
A friendship starts to grow
Where these feelings lead
Where this thing will go
I have no idea
Only time will show
My impatience is showing
I know it is, I feel it
It’s making me do those things
Those things that are not good
I’m pushing things, I feel it
Too much, too much, way too much
Because of that which I feel
Because of that which I want
I want to see you so much
Hold you, feel you and touch you
I want to look in your eyes
I want to see to your soul
Together to spend a night
To take a walk together
To have long talks together
To pursue these fine feelings
I feel it come like a storm
It washes all over me
I must let it go on by
To complete that that I want
I’ve never heard your voice
Nor looked into your eyes
Not felt your lips on mine
Nor even held you close
Only seen a picture
Not a face to face
I haven’t felt your touch
Nor cuddled next to you
To you I feel so close
Closer than I ought to
Brings feelings I should bury
Up until the time is right
I’d love to know you better
Better than I do
And spend each waking hour
Listening more to you
Where this path will take us
Is still not very sure
Hope that I can see you
To open up that door
I have questions in my mind
That I do not dare to ask
Into which you might read more
Than I’m prepared to reveal
I mull these things in my mind
Looking for the words to say
Nothing seems to come out right
Meaning more than what it may
I want to let you deep inside
I’m afraid of what I’ll say
Need I be comfortable
To fully begin to share?
Can say anything with you
Of this one thing I am sure
But the thoughts inside my head
Make me question what I feel
How deep do you want to go?
How far you wish to travel?
The questions in my mind
From end to end unravel
I’d ask the questions here
This poem provides a forum
But We lose discovery
Making all too very clear
Second guessing is not good
To really let someone in
To open up is what I need
To finally quiet the din
When you’re around you intoxicate me
You take me to highs that I’ve never been
Erasing the lows I have deep within
You make me feel really much more alive
You have allowed me to be who I am
Even to places I have deep inside
I start to enjoy myself on this ride
Opening up new possibilities
No one truly knows where this path will lead
Taking steps into a whole new affair
Walking together along the whole length
May be the only way to find out where
For you I wait with bated breath
Ever so very patiently
For conversations of such depth
That of the end we can not see
Our journey goes deep into night
The words sparking every turn
Of conversation that seems right
In our hearts, our mind, our souls
We feel so close yet never met
A connection hard to describe
A thought, a word, a lively bet
On feelings down deep inside
I wait for you this rainy night
Looking forward to the banter
I hope that we can not lose sight
Of chance that brought us together

First, I would like to say that personally I have nothing against the color yellow or Mustangs, but this is starting to get downright bizarre. I am writing this today because the cars have begun to invade my workplace.
It all started last May or June with my daughter talking about cars and how she would like a yellow one. Within a week the attack of the yellow Mustangs had begun. I would go out to the grocery and I would see 3 or 4 in less than a mile. I live near a Ford dealership, but during this whole time (5+ months) I have not seen one yellow one there (go figure). I go out on the road and they seem to multiply like rabbits.
I go to the mall (3 miles), 5 or 6 yellow Mustangs. I go into Indianapolis and it gets worse. I might even see ten or more driving the 80 miles to where my daughter goes to college. It makes me want to scream. One day in an hour or two of driving my son and I counted over 15 and we never made it more than a 5 mile radius from the house. It wouldn’t be so bad, if it were not for the fact that they are all the same color regardless of model year and appear to stretch out over a 15-20 year period. No deviation. None. Nada. Where I live one of the residents has one so I normally discount it, but today another one showed up and that one was number five for the day, all of them over my lunch break. Where will it end? Does anyone have any ideas? Anyone?!?
I wonder if someone is trying to tell me something. For the life of me, though, I cannot figure out what multiplying, yellow Mustangs have to do with anything in my life other than my daughter. But for her I think it wouldn’t matter the car. We drove past a yellow Corvette and she said, “I’ll take that one.”
I would too, honey. I would too, especially if it would rid me of the plague of the yellow Mustangs before they invade my dreams. That, I believe, would drive me crazy.
