We’re partnered up,
Not really my thing.
We sit in silence,
Thinking not speaking.
I bump your arm,
I turn to apologize.
How did I never notice,
Your amazing eyes.
I stop for a moment,
My heart stops beating.
What am I doing?
What was I thinking?
I say I’m sorry and turn around.
My brain turns off.
I look around.
Did anybody see me,
Looking into your eyes.
I wasn’t looking.
I laugh to myself
And realize.
I had fallen under your spell.
The one that makes my heart swell.
I curse and swear under my breath,
I secretly wish for another glance.
What is wrong with me, I can’t like you.
But if I close my eyes, my heart will dance.
I shut my eyes as much as possible,
Hoping the visions will be more awful.
But all I see is stars in your eyes,
Diving through them,
The waves lap against my heart,
Your voice the water.
No that’s not right,
Your eyes are the forbidden fruit.
If only I could take a bite.
I can’t, I won’t let myself.
But I’ve lost control.
I can’t move, trapped in my thoughts.
I am shattered, not one piece whole.
I drown in these daydreams,
I reign in the nightmares.
You are tearing me at the seams.
All of this is unfair.
I force myself to reality.
I look around,
No time has passed,
There’s not a single sound.
I look over to see you sitting there.
Not a hair out of place,
Just as happy as ever.
I try to think of something to say,
But you look over and my words melt away.
Your smile catches me,
And your face is happy.
Maybe I’ll be ok,
If you’ll have me.
