Evelyn

I caught you in the corner on my eye
I wonder why they say corners are blind
You spun all my senses around
In that moment you hijacked my mind

Everything around you collapsed
I lost count of the time that elapsed
You dominated the ground around you
Like a goddess with diamond crown jewel

I tried to make myself glow in your eye shot
An attention as brief as a blink is all I got
I hope it’s enough to keep my face in your memory
I hope it turns into the beginning of my love story

My hopes ebbed when you stood up to leave
The love at first sight was not hard to believe
Afraid that I may forget and never see you again
I decided to remember you by the name Evelyn
