If I go a day without thinking of you
my nights are consumed with visions of you

those eyes that provoke fantasy,
your soul's windows burn right through me.

The shape of your face,
curve of your smile...

the way you put your hair in that whimsical style...

I left too soon.

I knew it then.

I had to prove to myself you were right,
with the hopes you were wrong.

This experiment has gone  too long.

Keeping a distance cause I want to be closer,

Let me grow on you
show you a thing or two
Maybe you can show me something new.

Open enough to let you be my teacher
you'll have my full attention
fascinating creature.

Each day should be different as I look at you with a new eye.

Be a stranger to me
That I can always be mezmerized

be my constant new discovery while my mind flies

on flights of fancy

Mentally painting a new fantasy
of you smiling that smile when you look at me...
