Eluded

So close, I can almost reach you.
I'm compelled
As you invade my thought process
Love has taken hold of me.
Sadly, you elude me again.

Inner beauty draws me near, spellbound
and hypnotized
Please know me,
Know that I love you.
I scream aloud
As you elude my words.

In the crowd, you stand out
as I fall in.
Another piece of the puzzle,
trapped within.
Desperation vs composure,
fantasy vs reality
pull at me.

I welcome the day we meet at last
A blissful moment
beginning a beautiful relationship
I feel it near, I'm so close 
I can almost reach you.
But you remain crafty, my master
of escape.
Take my heart with you,
as you elude me forevermore.
