Crush

The suit the tie the smart shoes
You scared me
I didn’t hear the sound of those little bells
boo

The smile so wide
the twinkle in your eye
we laugh light
and never have I ever felt so seen
and attractive

you had me fooled
the dimple 
it must have been the dimple
and ofc that eye twinkle

early 40’s 
bachelor
def not been married
my wrong

I called
you flirted
we met your office
vulnerability spilled
cheeks flushed
crush

is exactly the right word
when I found out the truth
you hadn’t lied
 you were so honest

the family the wife
the separate rooms
the ties
why it won’t end
never so soon

I put my dignity in my back pocket 

a hug  a kiss
against the desk
remiss
