Then & Now

perfect
yet lustless
in the past
now
in the present
imperfect
yet desireable
in some odd way
sweet and innocent
together
in the past
now
cruel and confused
no more being together
because he doesn't know
what it is he wants
all talk
no follow through
i just want things
the way they used to be
with him, but now
lustful
i'm now ready
to take the next step
but he doesn't seem
to realize what
is right in front of him
does he even remember
how things used to be
that summer>
or am i just not
what he is looking for
in the present day?
am i just the past?
or can i also be a part of his future?
i've given all the appropriate signs
now i need some responses
because even if it is imperfect
the tension is invigorating
and leaving me craving
his lustfulness
here in the present day
