Closeness

The closer I get to you
The more I come alive
My morning has a purpose
I open my eyes and see your smile
The closer I get to you
My heart skips a beat
I don’t know I get confused
The patterns don’t repeat
I tingle underneath
Like the cold chattering teeth
The closer I get to you
Heaven feels more near
My mind is busy like a bumblebee
Steady, constant and random flying free
The closer I get to you 
The more I dread any distance
What is this attraction? 
What has happened?
Is this a natural reaction?
You’re my therapy and it’s scaring me
The closer I get to you
I adore your scent 
wonder why before this U were’t sent 
cherish each moment with U I spent
The closer I get to you 
I long to be close to you
