Missed Connection – Sweaty In Union Square

You’re my missed connection –
            not once, but many times
In running shoes with bright, orange laces –
            a welcomed distraction for my mind.

Counting hours in the morning

            ‘til I might see your face –
Some savory eye candy
            in a hot ‘n’ sweaty place.

You’re my missed connection –

            not once, but many times
A mere smile and quick hello
            got me weak-kneed every time.

I had whole conversations

            sealed behind these grinning lips;
Couldn’t help but sit and wonder
            the taste of a first kiss.

You’re my missed connection –

            not once, but many times
Watching you workout –
            glad apodyopsis is not a crime.

Eyes locked and darted, dancing

            in mirrors around the room;
Body heat and pulse rising –
            enough to make me swoon.

You’re my missed connection –

            not once, but many times
I only wish I’d had the nerve
            to towel whip you from behind!
