I loved you. I needed you. But I shyed away from your rays Yet I saw you without seeing you When I do force my eyes to stare at the goldenness of you your face is unfocused and I am temporarily blinded by the halo. 2 seconds. That is the longest I last in direct line with your light before I revert back to my wallflower state A moss of hair falls into place Always busy doing nothing Your closeness warms me The close proximity makes me shiver too Too hot and too cold at the same time I break into a fever I feel too cold without your presence but my cheeks flame when you are too near I swear my mind is getting muddled all I think about is how I get the perfect balance of the distance between me and you Though you scorch me my mind convinces me I want you near The closer I get the harder it is for me to breathe My heart pounds impossibly fast What is wrong with me?
Inspired by this line from Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy, βHe stepped down, trying not to look long at her, as if she were the sun, yet he saw her, like the sun, even without looking.β
