Friendship curtailed

I chose the Curtal Sonnet format.


She asked with a smile and twinkling blue eyes
Will you be my friend for a little while?
The moment forever etched in my mind.

I bent down to greet, but only to rise,
To shake her hand and flash a dimpled smile
How I wished the daintiness to be mine…

Raising its head now was a suspicion
But why did she say for a little while?
Reason driving attraction round the bend
Do I feel envy or competition?
I withdrew my hand.
