A Spring Encounter

Hey everyone! So this is my third blog post now. This time I've attempted to write a haiku poem; one that follows a 5-7-5 syllable structure. Hope you enjoy!

A spring encounter

Surprised to be stopped by you

Tried to catch my breath

Retraced all those steps

Searched the boards for your kind face

Luckily found you

Talked lots from afar

Wholesome comments from keyboards

Then we met anew

Felt the nerves in me

Shy and scared I may have been

But I wanted more

Talks and talks and walks

Ancient maps and swan stories

Had a lot of fun

Laughed and smiled and kissed

We held hands and watched them dance

Not done that before

Pleasant memories

Sitting round the glass table

Just you and me know

Defences did fail

Attraction grew more and more

Guard I had collapsed

Broke your news to me

Leaving soon for the city

Tried to hold the tears

Stupid and silly

Only known you a few weeks

Trusted too quickly

It was short and sweet

I let go so you can soar

You will do so well

Think lots about you

Telling myself I must not

But I often do

Miss your hair and hugs

But gained a new thinking spot

And more confidence

I smile once again

Every moment has reason

Life always goes on

Lots of dreams and plans

Time moves fast so make a start

Nose to the grindstone

People come and go

Independent I must be

Rely on no one

This is not goodbye

We will meet again as friends

Until then take care
