Book Bouncing

As usual, I am jumping from one idea to the next as the waterfall out of my head has a rather erratic flow. But hey, that's the joy of it all.
Recently, I had a great idea for a new story, which may become one, two, or even three books. I spent time inspiring with a friend and got the basics of the background down - something I generally like to do on fantasy stories. I don't like starting the book and finding out there's something I don't know about my own worlds. I have my main characters, the basic emotional and spiritual conflicts, the purpose of the story, and much of the physical conflict along the way. I even have some exact scenes and dialogues stored in my mind.
However, it was not to be. Not at this moment anyway. It's still there, and sometime someday I will write it. But I got another idea for yet another story, and once again I'm off! This one is a historical fiction romance set at the turn on the 19th century. Therefore, since the majority of my research was concluded in my history book, I can press on with this one. I have the prologue and half of the first chapter written already. I feel like I can finish this one, but then that's what I thought about the last half dozen. Yes, I do have a half dozen half-finished stories in my shelves, just waiting for me to get inspiration. I wish you could buy it in capsules.
But why look back? I shall now look forward and remember that I know just what to write on my current story. So time to let the thoughts flow out!

The Boy I Never Knew

Once upon a time
Not so very long ago
I met the boy I never knew
And here I'll tell you so

His hair was black and curly
His eyes were deep as wells
From the moment that I saw him
I knew for him I fell

He didn't sing me love songs
Didn't whisper in my ear
He never even said my name
Though that I longed to hear

He didn't bring me flowers
Didn't sweep me off my feet
He never even held my hand
But we shared something sweet

For shortly after meeting
Our eyes locked in a stare
A smile was all we needed
To say what we knew was there

Innocent and lovely
Beautiful and pure
Everytime our eyes would meet
I knew our bond was sure

But time, it passed too quickly
And soon I had to go
What could have happened if we spoke
Well, that I'll never know

We never said Hello
And we didn't say Good-bye
My one last look as we drove away
Made me want to cry

Once upon a time
Bittersweetness came
I met the boy I never knew
And loved him just the same.
