Every Time You Walk My Way (Butterflies)

I see your face and my heart begins to race.

The sight of your pure gold smile races around my head,
Like flittery, fluttery butterflies.
Butterflies that race down my throat and linger in my stomach,
As I see you walking my way.

You begin to talk and smile that cheeky smile you use so often,
A nervous smile plays across my lips.
My heart is rocketing against my ribs as you take my hand in yours,
Still speaking in that light-hearted, heaven sweetened voice.

I listen and take careful note of your every word desperate not to miss a thing,
At the same time I will my heart to calm and silence.
“how can he not hear you?” I ask my heart.

You stop talking and stare at,
Me?
My face?
My eyes?
No, you are staring deeper than that,
You are staring at my very soul.

A chill of torture ripples down my spine,
“Kiss me! Kiss me!”
In my mind I am mentally screaming and pleading for your lips.

You cup my face in your hands,
The butterflies chase each other in all and any direction in my stomach.
One of your hands ever so slowly and lightly strokes me cheek,
A playful but loving smile runs across your mouth, your eyes soften,
And I feel u relax as my hands snake around your neck.

Suddenly the butterflies roar and soar into my heart,
As your hands fall slowly from my face, to my neck, then to my shoulders, down my body
following my figure to my waist.

You move your face slowly towards mine, closing your eyes,
I follow your lead and close my eyes just as you press your lips against mine,
The butterflies are going crazy in my heart, suddenly darting this way then that!

You gently but forcefully pull me closer to you and open your lips taking mine with yours,
The butterflies rush, crash and speed out of my heart,
Making my quietly and slowly gasp.

On day I will become used to you and you angelic presence.
I lose myself in you, and am happy when lost there,
So I shall not look for directions, exits and other ways out.
I shall simply sit and hum the melody of love to myself,
And enjoy and cherish the moment,
Every time you walk my way.
