Desired Love Poem
~ Thank God For You
by Paul Curtis
she had been on my mind
a great deal of late it seems
images and moments of her
vividly filling my dreams
though thirty years had passed
all too quickly as a matter of fact
i decided i would google her
and that's not a euphemistic sexual act
though that is a delicious thought
but a global search on internet
producing the usual multitude of hits
most of them spurious you can bet
amongst the list before me i found
a teacher very well respect they say
a dancer and a musician but not her
but apparently i could buy her on ebay
so i thought i might just yell
not at anyone necessarily
but search through the online
comprehensive yellow pages directories
however it proved fruitless
as i didn't know what town she was in
or if her name had changed
it was difficult even to begin
then i had a brain wave
and i went to friends reunited
there at least i may have a chance
after login in i actually got exited
first i checked work places,
we worked together for a while
but no entry of her name
not to worry the site is versatile
then i checked the schools
all the schools within 20 miles
but no entry of her name
not to worry the site is versatile
i checked the armed forces,
the duke of edinburgh award scheme
college and university
and then clubs and teams
that only left streets to check
i knew where she lived long ago
30 years ago at least
but the name and number, no
i could have driven straight to it
but it was 100 miles away
it was so frustrating
and i almost gave up that day
then i suddenly realized
i could find the street on multimap
i traced the route i would have taken
and i found her street on multimap
so quickly i entered the street name
on friends reunited
and lo and behold there was her name
and i got really exited
quickly i sent her a message
i hope it's not treated as spam
or even worse than that
she doesn't remember who i am
then every day i check my mail
hoping for a reply from her
and look on the site at my inbox
and every day there is nothing there
weeks had gone by and nothing came
then a message from her so sweet
she did remember who i was
and she wants us to meet
i'm a bit nervous and apprehensive
and worried about the event
anyway nothing ventured, nothing gained
i'll let you know how it went.
