Chasing ghosts

Think I heard it for the first time today. 
That laugh. 
Like hot chocolate on a winter day. 

It felt like something that melts your heart. 
A buoyant feeling,
Which makes a dying heart restart. 

Are they aquamarine or ocean eyes?
Spending a second too long, 
Fills your body with butterflies. 

A bittersweet feeling, a poisonous state,
Like dropping from a high,
It’s a bit too difficult to wait. 

Living in my head 24/7 rent free,
Hope you’re not annoyed,
Just wondering, do you ever notice me?
