I love you
Everytime I see you
Like a 49 year old woman I get hot flushes
My lazy heart races
Faster than Usian Bolt on the last second of the 100 metres
The heart pounds and pounds
Blood moving from chamber to chamber, atria to ventricles
To the lungs, to the rest of the body
Searching for words to express what the heart is feeling
But the messenger cannot find what the master is seeking
So I sit here and wonder, wonder what it would be like not to stutter
To not be blank whenever you are around
To look at you and tell you exactly what I’m feeling inside
To stare into your eyes and you stare right back at mine
Hoping that you look long and deep enough to see the love
The love that’s screaming and shouting silently inside
Crying, on it’s knees, praying that you notice it
Hoping that you recognize it
Wishing that you would embrace it
And welcome it with open and loving arms
It has been running in my system for too long
Searching for you
Searching for the smell of your breath, the warmth of your touch
Hoping to hear your laughter and seeing your smile brighten my life when dark clouds hang over me
For your beauty is like rain
It inspires the rainbow inside of me to display all these beautiful colours that everyone seems to love
Like the sun that make it possible for the beauty filled flowers to bloom, and gives the trees their green and yellow and red colours
Like the fire that cannot be extinguished, burning everything and anything that comes it’s way, including my heart
This little pump of mine gets confused when you come close to me
Sometimes it stops in fear of the fire that you are
At the same time it races out of excitement of your presence
How I wish you would notice, how I wish I had the courage to let you know
I love you, that’s what I’ve been trying to say this whole time
