Crush On You

Sometimes I will be standing there and 
your face will flash before my eyes,
a face that I want to touch
until it's diminished into the size of a small keyhole
like the one that's on the lock to your heart
the smell of your body will float beneath my nose
until I'm lost in a memory of our lips becoming one

Although the images we created during special times
are etched forever in special caverns of our minds
as I look upon your face, I see the mirror of our past
as I look into your eyes, I see our history unfold in irises
as I run my hand through your hair, I watch the sun reflect
as I look upon your face, I see a vision of our future

Some lovely ways of talking of our having crushes on people. We've all had one - or two or three or whatever - and it's nice to see such discussed, to see a face flashing before our eyes, bringing a mirror of our past, the unfolding of history. Yes, thanks, FN. I liked this one.
