how quickly i get pulled under by
these passing thoughts of you
and when i close my eyes
all i see is you
haunting me with your intense beauty
i just want you to hear me
feel me
miss my reflection in your eyes
and i keep hoping that
one day you will notice me
but a passing glance is the best i can do
it's there for a few seconds
and then you shift your eyes
shift your eyes
away
and every time that i walk in and see you
i feel so overwhelmed
like the only logical thing to do
is fall to my knees
and lay everything i am at the feet of this radiant goddess
vowing every moment is devoted to your happiness
to making you smile
i just want to be closer to you
closer to this Holy moment
i just want to be something in your eyes

i just want you to

and i keep hoping
that one day you will notice me
but a passing glance is the best i can do
it's there for a second or 2
and then you shift your eyes
shift your eyes
away
and i try to work up conversation
but each time the train of thought refuses to pull out of the station
and everytime i walk in and see you
i feel so overwhelmed
so overcome by this holiest of all visions
like the only logical thing to do
would be fall to my knees
and lay everything i am and ever will be
at the feet of this divine, radiant goddess
vowing every momeny is hereby dedicated to your happiness
to maing you smile
and i had the thought that i would learn to pray just to be in your congregation
it made me laugh in a way
and they say helen of troy had a face that could launch a 1,000 ships
but yours could bring them all back
and i still remember the way your eyes and smile looked
as if the sun rose and set just within them
as if the entire universe was contained just within them
as if everything revolved around you
and i was just a satellite, orbiting, caught in your pull
and i wondered -
'how do you tell someone they are the most beautiful sight in all of existence?'
i still have the memory pinned to my wall
with the caption penned (sloppily) underneath:
'the day i realized i was alive'

lalalalaaaaaaaa

Logical to you & me, but they don't follow the same logic, bro. If you put something up on a pedestal, it'll ALWAYS be out of reach. You have to put YOURSELF up there instead. And then....just say "hi" or somethin'
