Destroying Dreams

A Poets Ballad

"We flirt all the time."

That's what you said.

I heard loud and clear.

I'm not sure you meant when you tell a joke and I laugh or when I smile when you smile at me.

But you don't know how my heart skips at beat when your eyes sparkle at me.

Or how my stomach does backflips when you hold my gaze a second longer.

I'm not sure if you were kidding when you said or you were serious.

But tonight, I can dream...
