Catch My Breath

Intense eyes, I love your disguise 
I hate to hide.. my feelings, so I lie. 
Every time I see you, it takes my breath away.. 
I want you to stay, but you always leave, so far away. 

When our eyes lock for a moment, my heart skips a beat 
My pulse starts racing and I can feel the heat. 
Why do you do this to me? I cannot explain, 
these feelings I attained. 

My head feels so clouded and jaded from thoughts. 
No one has ever made me feel this way, my heart flip flops. 
My head and my heart cannot seem to let go, but I can't tell you 
this, you cannot know. 


This is cruel for all involved, I feel so bad, I feel so small. 
My heart is aching and my mind keeps racing. To know it will never be, 
is really sad to me. 

I am trying to catch my breath.
