-Original Work-
(I saw this mystery girl through a window today. So I wrote a poem about how I felt.)
I saw you through the glass today.
At first, dismissed as a trick of light
At second, a ray of hope.
Is that beauty on the other side?
Behold, tired eyes, the sun is not
The only light in the sky.
See her, the Beast’s enchanted rose
Behind a pane of glass I spy.
Now I am that fated creature
Peering awestruck at the blossom within
Watching without being seen
Solitary in my chagrin.
Oh God or gods, fates or spirits
Hear the cry of this lone heart!
Allow this soul the touch of love
Before this world I do depart.
So I’ve hit that part of being single again where all you want is someone to hold… feeling pretty lonely right now. All I want is a cheek to put my hand on and a pair of eyes to stare into and say, “You are so beautiful.”
Seems like a simple wish, doesn’t it.

To answer the inevitable question: no, the child in the picture is not me. It was a pic I found on the net. Besides, I was way cuter. Yes, that’s right. I was cute once. Now I am old and hideous.
lol. you? No. That’s too hard for even me to believe. Just kidding. Awesome poem up top… It’s better to be single when you have multiple friends, than it is to have none. Right now, I could live in the state of being I am forever, with people talking to me and enjoying the time I have with my friends, both here at Wartburg and at home. Sure, having a girlfriend would be nice at some time, but after over twenty years of searching down that path, I guess I’ll just wait till my paths finally cross with who God’s fated for me to meet. You’ve got to realize, though, I have no experience in what you’ve had, and if I lost something like that, I’d probably feel the same. Have a great week!
Absolutely amazing words, Jake. And I love the top picture as well…just might have to borrow it!
