Caught You

I caught you in the corner of my eye. If only you could read my mind. The sweet notations I selfishly hold. I'd like to think that I've caught you. Displacing myself in every other word you say. If you've ever noticed my eyes as close as they are now. The intimacy of being held close. Secret longing. The swift pace that eyes move. Catching you in the corner of my eye. On the border of each blink. Temptation, the watering of eyes. Terrified to close. Terrified that when they open you'll be gone. Having to chase and catch you all over again
