Sheer Pleasure

Usually I don't condone this kind of behavior
but whenever he is around all I can is savor 
his every word. 

He leaves me breathless 
I have late night dreams of  lying on his
bare chest.

I doubt he even notices me 
and this job uniform I have on. 
My makeup smeared because the hour
for looking cute has long since passed along. 

I wait for him everyday because his presence
reminds me of the feelings I try to shut away
I reach sheer pleasure just uttering his name
and I fear I will never be the same. 

Destiny is a pretty strange thing 
but a connection I'll never forget I'm sure 
we've both made.
The way he has captivated me has me afraid.

This is no longer a stage this is my life and 
I must continue this promenade.
From our very first introduction 
he invaded my soul and though crushes
are silly I have a crush on him with a 
capital C and the rest in bold

He makes me feel a mix of hope and 
doom all at the same time 
because even though it's a pleasure
I want him to be all mine forever
That would take a huge amount of
courage on my part which I'm not
sure I can muster.

To utter a word about these inner
thoughts of mines could either end
up the best thing I've ever done 
or just another re run
