Hopelessly Besotted with “(‘,’)”

I look for you when I go online
I keep looking at you for hours
My eyes follow you closely
hoping to meet yours

I think of you when I’m with friends
I think of you when I’m alone
I re-read all the messages
you ever sent to my phone

It keeps me up at night
It haunts me through the day
I struggle but fail constantly
to keep your thought away

And then I glance in your direction
and time seems to fly
The cosmos shimmers and disappears
in the twinkle of your eye

I want to talk to you all day
if only to hear you speak
cause every time I hear your voice
it makes my day, my week.

I struggle to steer my mind
It’s far too fixated on you
It insists that these emotions
these feelings are all true

Being distant makes it miserable
It’s almost too hard to bear
I long and pine and pray
to always hold you near

I wonder if you too feel this way
It makes me look for the signs
obvious and not so
in your manner, face and eyes.

I lean in to observe closely
but all I can see
is a mesh of red, green and yellow
forming a dark ambiguity

So I wrestle with my feelings
and scream a silent scream
Till the day I see the flame
I bide my time and dream
