My brain deserts me

And it's just my heart,

Pounding, pounding.

My eyes devour you

And I bask in the warmth of your steady gaze.

Your chocolate eyes grab my hazel ones,

And I can't let go and you won't let go.

You're pulling me ever closer.

I am afraid of my longing for you;

I want to reach out, stroke your cheek,

Feel your kiss.

Chills wrack my delicate body

As my stomach rolls and clenches.

I am shaking violently

But my soul is singing.

I teeter on the edge of dreams and reality,

Contentment and risk,

Love and fear.

What should I do when I see you?
