theme thursday - I felt an impression



I caught a

Fleeting glimpse of your
Eyes as you rushed from the room,
Leaving me empty, full of longing and wanting you.
Too late! You were gone

And
Now

I was alone.
Maybe there was still a chance.
Perhaps you waited in the corridor, or in another
Room. I looked. I hunted. Opened
Every door,
Sought you
Shouted for you.
If only you had … If
Only I hadn’t called you Nancy, instead of
Neville, then I felt I would have made a better impression.

"Nancy instead of Neville..." that is hilarious!

btw, my word verification is: comic
how appropriate.

How do you confuse a Neville for a Nancy?

Stephanie said...

Neville indeed. I like this post.

Tom said...

um...interesting love life you have there! :)

I'd nearly given up on what to post. Who'd a thought that having 2 themes would make it more difficult to come up with something?
Thanks for the kind comments, I had fun writing it.
Wings & Tom - that's on a strictly nedd-to-know basis :D

Betty said...

Nedd to know?
It's late. G'night!

Oh dear, nothing like a little gender confusion to make an impression.
