On the Long Line

I happened to see you as I was waiting on line
Something about you immediately caught my eye
This intense attraction suddenly came over me
and I know it may sound crazy cause we didn't even talk
But visions of our escapades flashed into my mind 
as if we had been together in past life or something
On this long line I waited amused by the whole situation
It's funny because if you weren't there I probably would
have been pretty irritated about standing for so long
but since you were I couldn't help glancing at you 
and than looking away each time you glanced my way
it's spectacularly amazing that you can make me feel 
this giddy and nervous when I only saw you from a distance
On this long line I admired everything about you
On this long line I fantasied about what we could be
I only saw you this one time and it stuck with me
Maybe if i'd had enough courage to actually do
what was on my mind the whole time while I was in line
Than maybe I wouldn't be writing this poem
you'd probably be right next to me 
Now wouldn't that be one hell of a story
