Why when I see you my breath stops

My stomach twists in knots

My lips twitch and jerk

My adrenaline pumps in watts

 

Why when I’m next to you

My lungs ache to breathe you

My heart longs to love you

My body wants to feed you

 

Why when you say my name

My ears are acute

My heart skips a beat

I’m suddenly mute

 

Why when you walk past me

My nose follows your smell

My feet rises off the ground

My body toward you propel

 

Why when I dream of you

I find myself flushed

Awake with a smile

To reality than I’m crushed
