gaze

instead of doing my work

i'm thinking of you

picturing you sitting across from me

with your head tilted, gaze fixed on me

till my heart is about to beat right out of my chest

and i have to turn away to catch my breath

then from there

it's a stare down

until one of us decides to stop wasting time

my heart goes right on beating

as hard as before

i catch my breath

and know this is right where i want to be
