The rhythmic tap of my thumbs
As my heart stutters and leaps
A melody in my pocket
A day dream of the future
Of a kiss to come
Of brown eyes
Seeing straight into me
Of letting down my walls
Letting myself spill out

Brown eyes stare back at me
Twinkling with humor
A slight bob of the head
Not in agreement or affirmation
But in sheer giddiness
A nervous chuckle
A smile expands
Revealing a cute little gap
Perfect in its imperfection

A kiss on my nose
A hand on my cheek
Arms wrapped around me
Brown eyes too close to see clearly
Full of something I can't describe with words
