An Angel in the Crowd

  

A summer’s day, stood in a field

The band were playing so loud

I smiled as I caught your eye

A face amongst the crowd

 

To call you beautiful would be wrong

That word is used by many

But should there be a more pertinent word

I couldn’t think of any

 

You may have been a stranger to me

But I still felt like I knew you

Despite the people standing between us

These feelings fought their way through

 

I wanted to reach out and touch your face

And kiss your lips, so sweet

I wanted to pull you into my arms

Then sweep you off your feet

 

I took one step toward you

You smiled in my direction

And I knew you felt the same way

That you could feel the connection

 

I took a another step forward

Both of our smiles grew...

SUDDENLY! Your head spun round

Toward the man beside you

 

I saw the love for you in that man’s eyes

When he put his arm around you

And kissed you on your lips so sweet

So happy that he’d found you

 

I took two lonely steps backwards

Knowing I would never hold her

But with a look of sadness in her eyes

She looked at me over her shoulder...

 

... but there was nothing I could do

Except walk away and dream of you.

speederspider It's a difficult situation to be in. Sometimes it's best to step aside and wait to see what happens. Time has a way of working things out. Once again lovely work.

mcihellejane That is a truly hard position to find your self in. Less of a man would disregard the guy at her side and just go for the gold. I don't think coward is the right word at all. I think it's honorable, heartbreaking, but honorable. I can't imagine the sadness of seeing what is meant to be but not being able to do anything about it~

Pikkakard This is definitely a work of fiction, but based loosely (very loosely) on a true event mixed with a dream.

Thanks for all your comments.

seekerovtruth I see a bit of both comments below in this. I think if she was already in love with another man that respecting that she is taken is an admirable quality and one that is rare to find these days. I do however see a bit of the coward comment as well though, as to not dig a bit deeper to find if this man with her, was in fact the man of HER dreams and not just the man who was holding her back from her dreams, especially when she is shoulder checking a look of sadness your way, might be missing an opportunity. Paths cross for a reason you know. Awesome poem!

run4w4ytr4in i wouldnt say he was a coward.. maybe the guy next to her was gigantic.. maybe he was just sensible, or maybe, just maybe this is fictional ;) Either way its very good.
