Under The Weight Of A Crush

Ive always been that girl over there.

The one that

stops,

looks,

and stares.

The one that stays across the room

Waiting for you to stop

To pay attention

But one look at you and my minds consumed

With thoughts of you one day listening

To my soul calling and screaming your name

I want you to listen

Listen to my heart running

As it tries to catch you

My tongue fumbling

As it forms words to speak to you

My breath is lost

And so are my thoughts

My panic flares and my palms start sweating

You're heading my way and

I can't get air in

Your green eyes are stuck on my brown

As our souls tether

As our hearts smile

Your voice reaches me

Strong

Silky

Beautiful

And smooth

Your voice wraps around me

And all goes still

In your eyes I'm totally consumed

You make me question if its real

Did you hear my hearts call?

Did you feel my soul cry?

Or was it fate that made you approach that day?

Fate, that made you choose to stay?

Five years later and I still wonder

If you stopped to listen

If you heard my silent scream

If you paid attention

As our hearts played a tune

Till this day you still manage to find me

Our souls still tied

Our love still in bloom.

I'll never for get the first day though

That first time I caught your eye

How my feeling of loneliness broke

And love made its way into my life.
