I'm blinded by emotion and excited with the new.
Pondering on all the ways you make me adore you.
I'm not tangled up with infatuation or mending a broken heart.
I'm mingled with fascination in discovering who you are.
I know you need time and you will always need space.
But you should know how much it means for me to see your face.
I can't breathe when you are close and I hold my breath to see you next.
I memorize everything you say in every little text.
Someone like you doesn't come just to be overlooked.
Since the first time we kissed you know that I've been hooked.
I don't know why men get scared and why women push away.
I just know because of you I am happier every day.
Your words are the whispers that melt every piece of my heart.
Your body is the reason why it kills me to be apart.
When you smile I'm captive like water in frozen rain.
Just being with you I've forgotten all my pain.
So when the day comes that you understand how I feel.
Then maybe you will see why you are such a big deal.
