You Are All I See
do you care
that our time
is limited
that every encounter
i am blessed
with another fear
of our next
goodbye
and our short time
could be
unnerving
do you care
about my mind
my thoughts
my ability
to put you first
in all things
even where you are
undeserving
do you think about
what i am thinking about
when i stare at you
profoundly
content
that i do not
realize
i am smiling
so wide
that tears form
in my eyes
from the
gratitude
i have for you
just being within
reaching distance
of me
that's its so
easy
for me to be
in a room
filled with
distractions
and you.
you are still
all i see
that this magnetic pull
is forcing us
together
but i am so deeply in
denial
i choose to ignore
the notion
that i want
to be with you
but at times
i need to turn away
just to process
this tidal wave
of all consuming
emotion
that leading up
to you
i am so nervous
and unsettled
i feel it in my
core
deep in every
chromosome
i might even panic
until
i catch sight
of you
that's when my body
feels relief
that's when
my body
knows she is
home
