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
