Love at first sight

By Ash PhaygePublished 4 years ago 1 min read
Believer of dreams

I wondered what coffee would taste like with you in the morning

The color of your eyes as the sunlight shone across your face

I hadn't even had a taste and I was hungry for more

Suddenly walking and talking all became a chore

My breath caught in my throat

And our eyes met

I rubbed the sweat off my hands and I came to stand next to your seat

I silently called you a cheat for making me speech

– less

Sorry

Could you repeat that?

I was listening, I promise

You're just this Adonis and I simply a pawn in your trap

Did you mean to ensnare all the grace and wit out in one snap?

Or was your intention to stare into my soul?

Was it just a role you were playing to catch the winning goal?

I've already told you too much

And as such you gift me a smile worthy of a thousand legions

This moment has become a memory as you are now my reason for a breviary

I don't mean to be contrary and out of sorts

It's just when you look at me it thwarts the source of all my plans

I'm in trouble, man

Cause all I want is you

No matter the cost

– Elle Jae
