quix•ot•ic  1: foolishly impractical in the pursuit of ideals; especially marked by rash lofty romantic ideas or extravagantly chivalrous action

        Was it more than attraction and a physical lust?  How I long for that first inconceivable touch in my mind.  I'm glad that, even with the almost foreshadowing image she conceives, she's not psychic.  How embarrassed I would've been if she knew what I was thinking of.
        She was the object of my affection at the party on the yacht.  I walked up to make simple conversation by asking if she knew where we would dock.
        I crossed by fingers, but I didn't beg.  I knew she knew I liked her, but a desperate guy doesn't stand a chance with her.
        The sudden urge to grab her, jump on a mustang, and fly to Edinburgh to be wed within the same night swept over me when she spoke.  My wants and urges were foolishly impractical that night, but I didn't care.
        If I was dying, I didn't want to know.

This is a narrative told by a guy, yet seeing another girl.. But it's on a yacht this time! (In case you've been keeping up, this entry kind of has the same theme as "Fervent," but I, of course, like "Fervent" MUCH MORE.)

The song that inspired me for this entry is "Desperate Guys" by The Faint.
