Aspirin

From the very first time I laid eyes on you, 
I couldn't think of anything to say. 
My heart couldn't resist this feeling, 
Personally Knowing the moments that swiftly pass In the blink of an eye. 
The glint of pain that presides. 
Throbbing erratically. 
In life I've felt pain before. 
But not like this, 
I think of you as relief. 
An immediate rush to the head. 
Dispersing through my body. 
An Aspirin of all sorts 
Thought to cure a moment of pain. 
Not wanting to prolong any moment, 
I took them without water, your words. 
Needing you now, 
A drug induced lullaby. 
Hoping to awake with you in my arms.
