Everyone needs an obsession (Nov 22, 1998).

'Kay?

Why are you always crying when I see you?
or do you just cry when you see me?
Why?  I try to understand.
I.  Teary eyed.  
Trying to see you.  Crying to see you.
Sigh.  Allied but unable to fight your enemies.
Fight your memories.
Shy.

I say bye after an appropriate time
No need to let things get uncomfortable
once again exchanging polite numbers
So I can surf that emotional wave again
till indeterminate temporal realizations
known from the beginning
of again forgotten phone numbers
and again a delay to sad forgotten encounters
but for now...
   ...dreamy projections
   ...perfect joys
   ...ideal couplings
what thrilling ideas...

I want to see you smile,
but more,
I want you to smile when you see me.
