This thing, overwhelming
Taking over, everything
Crazy, yesterday morning
A world existed, fully realised
Laughter, bad days
An entirety of reality
Now, your name
Alone
Takes up every other
Thought
Eyelashes, apparently
Are now, something I notice
All of a sudden
Memorising lengths and angles of curl
Symmetry of their butterfly flutter
As serenading blinks
This
A thing, I’m obsessed with
Since a quarter to midnight
Last night
As our lips, alcohol tinged
Introduced themselves
Your eyelashes, bombarded
My cheeks
So now every few minutes
I’m brushing the back of my hand
On my own face, lost to a mirage
Relieving that furnace, embrace
I’m scared
I’m exhilaratingly awash with hope
I’m scared
I’m scintillatingly amazed with life
I’m forgetting
What reality felt like, before
Your smile
Became both my twilights
Overnight
I’m texting, I’m on my way
Pensive
Till I read your reply, realising
I has now become, our ‘we’
Since
Your text stated you’re already
Halfway
Rushing, to meet me
Oh dear heart, what have we began…
