When The Time Is Right

We had a moment in time
But I think we rushed it
The look in each other's eyes
Was glazed with confusion
Our embrace stiff
Our kiss was cold
With the smell of sex
and the aroma of hesitation
We parted on bad terms

Now we meet
With disgust
We wonder why
In our hearts we already know

When the time is right
Our eyes will be filled with acknowledgement
Our arms will be filled with wanting
Our lips will be filled with passion
With the aroma of ecstasy
We will come together
On some fateful night
When we least expect it

I wrote this poem after I had been with a guy who was younger and the day after he acted cold to me. I assumed that he was just young and didn't know anything. I also wrote it for another man who i was with for one night and i told the wrong people and it got back to him. He said he was going to kick my ass. I felt really bad because i was friends with the girl he was going out with. When she found out she wasn't made but sad because she knew i liked him and knew i wanted to be with him. She said she wished i could talk to him but he was in denial about the whole thing. I got a call from him a week after that saying that he wanted me to sneak out and meet him. I didn't trust him so i said no. I kinda wish i did though but i'm glad i stood up for once.
that was in job corps and i haven't seen or heard from him since. Now i only have the memories.
