abrupt fondness

I can’t help but to stare at her and the way that she seems to brighten the world wherever she walks. Her eyes Could rock me to sleep, sing me a sweet melody and melt my insides. I can’t help but listen to her words and the way they waltz across the pages, staying in tempo with my tongue. They are leading the dance. I can’t help but to marvel at her, so put together and so untouchable. My limbs are frozen, icy, stiff without her touch. Oh, if I could feel an ounce of her love, I could leave my bed in the morning. But alas, when I wake, I am alone, watching her silhouette dance in my dreams. When she wakes, her smile looks at the sun and burns just as brightly, rivaling its rays. And her eyes are like embers, while my eyes look like rum and my clothing is wrinkled, while hers is folded neatly on her bed in the morning. The way that she can brush her hair aside, and it looks like an untamed fire, the way her bangs look as if I could touch them, and feel the hot flames. My hair is a cold dark open night, one worth chasing and leaving behind. Her light will go fast, you must catch it in a glass jar and hold it close to you. When you feel angry, you can watch as she darts from side to side, as her aura fills you with glee and hope. She is the reason why I get up in the morning and feel like I can breathe. She is the reason I let myself be.
