Description
You sat behind the obscenely large glass windows, sipping tea.
And to the world you were just another girl in a coffee shop.
To me, you were far less.
All you were was numerous particles and molecules molded into a girl.

To the eye of passerby's you were probably beautiful.
Hair the color of the sky after the sun has spent it's day burning it up.
Almost crimson, you could even say.
Your skin was the color of the whitest fallen feather of a morning dove.
Almost translucent, and I would have thought you albino,
But your eyes, oh they were the color of a dream.
Almost like the rain forest and the bluest ocean met and meshed into one.

You had dimples that looked like they could have been carved by a rose.
And your lips were a shade of bloody massacre.
More red than the ripest apple.
The forbidden apple.
Your cheek bones look to have been sculpted by a God.

You were hideous, and unappealing.
Because to tell you the truth, I've never found anything beautiful.
Especially not you.
You were hideous, and unappealing.
My brain knew that, because we're connected.
I think today my eyes have severed their ties with us
Because they find you extraordinary.
Breathtaking to say the least.
But you're not, you're just another form of life on this God forsaken planet.

And for some split second it was a twilight zone.
I had this absurd idea to walk in
ask to sit down and tell you that you were astonishing.
The most beautiful creature I'd ever seen [even if it was a lie.. you were hideous]

And for a flash of a millimeter of a second I could see myself,
laying in a bed with messy sheets and your head upon my chest
hair sprawled out like a spider's venom.
Sun moving slowly through the obscenely. large. glass. windows.
And it was beautiful.
Except only not really, because you were hideous.
Because you see my eyes deceived my brain.
They were always one until I saw you.

You sat behind the obscenely large glass windows, sipping tea.
And you were far from just another girl in a coffee shop.
But I've never believed in cliches, or happy ever afters.
Fairy-tales are made up sicknesses.
And when my eyes finally realigned with my brain I forced them to walk away
Because I wasn't the kind of guy, to fall for a fairytale princess.

Wonderful work. At first I thought "great, another 'you are so beautiful, to me'" poem, but the twist really lifted this piece. And I also thought it was more realistic that they never meet. So overall, an organically tragic poem.

Well thank you so kindly darling.
I cant foresee them meeting to be honest.
Well I can, but it wouldn't be pretty xD
My girlfriend thinks I should start it into a novel,
I just don't know.

I dunnoh? I think I like that the whole fantasy ends completely after the person walks past - like whatever hope there was has died and that is just how romance is in the modern world? You could try taking it further, and I'd be interested to read what happens after that

Yeah I take that all into consideration.
I feel like there would be a horrendously strong connection.
However, I think the relationship would be unhealthy, and completely uneven.
