DESPERADO

There she was . . . walking . . .
And there I was . . . gawking . . .
Then she noticed me waiting . . .
A smile from her plus a greeting.

'Hey!' That familiar voice I remember
Last I heard, it was 2014, September
Knees buckled; thought I was a goner
The mere presence of you makes me wonder

Then I left, hoping you'd follow
Overwhelmed feelings, in it, let me wallow
What happened earlier, still hard for me to swallow
And I felt kind of 'desperado'.

Soon we'll be together
And it'll never end, not now, not ever
Just you and me, shoulder to shoulder
In our own world, together, forever.
