I can only think of you.
I try to think of others.
I think about their hair.
About their eyes.
I don’t see them however.

Instead I see your smile.
It takes hold my heart.
Like a bear trap takes a leg.
It strikes my soul bright.
Like lightning splits trees.
Breath.
I try again.

I’m out with them.
Everyone else.
It doesn’t matter though.
Because behind all their jokes you dance.
Before all their stories you tread.
They aren’t you.

I talk about them too.
Try to make them more.
Try to make you less.
It makes your size greater however.
Making the chance you might crush me.
Even more a possibility.

So I can only think of you.
Can only imagine the most dazzling beginnings.
See a love all try not think about, else they become jealous.
Pictures on a coffee table illustrating a full life together.
Glimpse adventure with a laugh.
As your enormity crushes me.
First attempt at poetry.
