Intensity

I notice you while you're sitting there
Forgive my unavoidable stare

My nerves are quaking my will is weak
A glimpse of your eyes is what I seek

I cannot look away; you draw me nigh
To compose myself is impossible; I know; I try

Your beauty captures me; your presence demands
A feeling of numbness is in my hands

A desire to speak but a barrier of fear
My heart beats faster as I come near

My legs shake as I approach you now
I want to speak but do not know how

You look at me with your beautiful eyes
My heart skips a beat while my inside cries

Our eyes meet and smiles emerge
Strangely a comfort begins to surge

I approach you, hoping to break the ice
You speak first, your voice is nice

We connect with ease and converse well
We walk and talk with much to tell

I study you as you laugh, smile, and scrunch your nose
Your skin looks soft and smooth like the pedals of a rose

Sitting close to you, our bodies touch
I want to kiss you; so very much

With each encounter intensity soars
A breathless gulp as tension roars

The first kiss, so magical, so sweet
This must be real; there is so much heat

The night is late, we lay side by side
You are so tired this you cannot hide

You ask me to stay if you should drift
This night is unreal, it is a gift

To be alone with you to watch you sleep
A promise to stay I long to keep

You are asleep now; you have drifted away
Your beauty stays fresh; your dreams are at play

Your body glows in the bedside light
Your movements so little your breath so slight

As I am lost in watching you, I drift away
This was a perfect ending to a perfect day
