Osmosis
by Elizabeth Challinor
You look
Blink
Then secretly drink
The person
In
Drawn like a magnet
You've only just met
And yet
A striking resemblance
An incarnation
Of the energy
You share
The intimacy
You feel it's all there
In this other person
You barely know
How can this be so?
You want to throw
Caution to the wind
Go with the flow...
But you know
It's not fair
So
You hold yourself back
Keep up the superficial chit-chat
And remember your friend
