Deja Vu

As I see your name flashing on my phone,
my heart beats faster.
I can feel those enchanting eyes
looking at me intrigued.
Flustering like a gilded spring sunflower,
my shaking fingers pick up the phone.

your voice rings like an angel
music humming  in my mind.
I speak without knowing what I'm saying,..
I want to keep listening , as you keep talking,
I sweat in your scent spreading within me.

A cheereful façade of fluttering  butterflies
it's not a crush, I want to name it love
An eternal fire, in film songs, I have only heard of.

I wait for an excuse to phone you back..
mustering a frantic courage,.. I lack.

Till then I keep you safe in my dreams...
No longer excited, feeling of deja vu,
where clichéd I can say, " I always love you."

Hi Debjani: A beautiful feeling of love especially, "I sweat in your scent spreading within in me." That line blew me away.
