Seeing you

I hoped to see you soon,
But that would lead to expectation,
And end up hurting me.
So I thought of Elton John,
When he sang "somewhere out of the blue",
Because that's what my life sounded like.
Me wandering around town thinking,
"I'll turn and I'll see you."
Or maybe the reverse.
My hope of seeing you is too strong
That I no longer want to socialise
Because that would increase my chances of
Seeing you around.
Hope, expectation, disappointment.
Looks like they are a trio teaching me about life with you.
