Have you ever experienced infatuation with someone you know is not a good match for you? Or how about an interesting relationship that roots itself deep in your memory... Here's my double take on someone who caught my eye years ago and invited me to play footsies in a work cafeteria. Although nothing ever involved from this infatuation, he has never left my thoughts.

Joining
Of
Hearts
Never

Mixing
Our
Tender
Illusions
Fantasy
Fires

Roses are red
Or are they pink
Since laying eyes on you
All I do is think

Of holding you close
And touching your face
The fun we could have
In a different place

Yet somehow I managed
To let you see
An image that scared you
That really isn't me

So I guess I'll just wait
Til the timing is right
Keep believing in fate
And dreaming at night

LEO/LIBRA
Leo and Libra: a fire and air sign together. Naturally empathetic to each other, these two although differing in method usually have the same long-term goals. They share visions. They complement each other beautifully. Leo will, purely by his nature, tend to be bossy and domineering. Libra will endure this good-naturedly, to a certain point. If the Lion pushes the relationship too far, Libra will make a quick exit and later on will punish the Lion.
