Far too long

I get weak in the knees, I can hardly breathe. I just want to be free from these thoughts. Mind racing, feelings taking control..not easy to hold it together. I don't know whether or not I can take anymore of this. Daydreams fill my head with a kiss so sweet and tender on this emotional mind bender. I know this could never exist, your on the other side of the list. Forbidden fruit, but I want you..oh god do I want you. I have never wanted anything so much, all of my thoughts include you, like what are you doing to me? to make me like this..how can I exist near you when I can't even think when you are around? I try to plant my feet on the ground. I know it is wrong, but these feelings are too strong. Morning, noon and night, my thoughts drift to you. Your like an obsession that I can't contain, I could watch you all day and I am so sad when you are away..like part of my heart is gone and I can't be this strong for this long. What am I gonna do? Live my life without you? Sounds so blue, I need you, can't you see?It hurts so bad that we will never be. It is awful to say that I stay in this current situation everyday, so you can be a part of me, in some way. Even if it's only for a few moments, I get to share with you. I would take that any day, then to know that I can't see you in some way. I love every part of you, the good and the bad. I never want you to be hurt or sad. This is not a crush, it is so much more..feelings deeper than anything I have ever felt before. Your eyes make me melt and my heart swells. I could put pen to paper all day long, but words cannot express what is going on and it has been for way too long.
