catching glimpses

Can you contain what you call attraction?

I've been looking out for days and days

And I decided to say exactly what I want to say

I saw you and your hurried eyes come towards me

And other circumstances made evacuate the area

but that doesn't mean my heart has abandoned you

Why must your eyes play this longing game

but your tongue remains tamed and silent

Aren't we past just catching glimpses?

Every time you walk by me I break a little bit

And soon enough there will be no one to fix this

Defining so close but so far       away.

Tell me this isn't all in my head

Tell me you want this as bad as I do.

You know, I've got to tell you... don't ever lose this feeling. This lovesick, longing ache that hits the core of your stomack feeling. There is a point where you become numb and it doesnt happen anymore. Savor it. Great poem
