Eldaire

When I stood next to you,
my stomache used to turn
and my tongue used to roll
and my heart used to flutter.
There was always something I wanted to say.
I always had the words prepared.
But when I opened my mouth to tell you,
it always seemed that no words could do my feelings justice.
And so it went.

On that day, I was still trying to say it.
Then I looked at you,
and I saw your beautiful face
and your beautiful smile.
I realized suddenly that you were going to kiss me.
I remember each instance.
It was as though I was in a movie,
and each frame lasted an eternity.
My head was spinning,
I didn't know how this was possible.
I felt like I was floating.
I was overcome with happiness.
When your lips finally touched mine,
I melted away.
I can't even begin to describe the euphoria,
the incredible peace I felt.

And now you're gone again.
And my heart is lonely again.
I still feel your lips on mine,
and I long to hold you.
But you're drifting away from me.
Like a ghost of a happy past.
I can see you there,
but you're so far away.

Come back to me.
