Carmine

Carmine, you made me laugh today.
It's only been an hour since we parted,
and I'm still I’m left with thoughts of you.
Your perspective is appealing.
My angel
My guardian
My friend
And that is all you can ever be.
My Carmine,
My sweet Carmine….

Why are you drawn to me?
I look at you
With friendship eyes.
And then you betray me…
Your flattery
Your admiration
Your declaration
Please, go away.
My Carmine,
My wonderful Carmine…

You’re taller now.
I hold you in such high regard.
You’re wisdom is appealing.
And then you cross the line...
Causing confusion
Causing tears
Causing heartache
Please don’t look at me like that.
My Carmine,
My brilliant Carmine…

You’re older now, and talented.
I am spellbound by your art.
And once again you’re knocking at my door.
I don’t want to be you’re your special someone.
I don’t want to be "that" girl
I don’t want to be your muse
Please just leave me alone.
My Carmine,
My perfect Carmine…
