Excitement
When you walk
by, I always take a deep breath
so I can float away on the
scent you carry.
I hold it in my lungs, and dream about you.
When I finally exhale...you are gone.
When we're together, I memorize every detail of
your face so I have something to think about
when you're not around.
I stare into your eyes, wishing you could read my
mind.
There is an air of excitement which surrounds
you, and I'm only trying to wrap myself in
it.
So if you catch me watching your lips, or smiling
at you for no apparent reason,
Just know that I am thinking about you
And that I consider you my piece of heaven, on
Earth.
