It should not be possible
for my heart to beat its fastest
when it feels as though
everything else around me has stopped.

A shot to Achilles' heel
is an understatement to the way you,
only you, can make me feel.

Can someone tell me,
since when did receiving a smile,
feel like being cast out into
S P A C E ?

because I feel as if I'm floating
and the world
is just
so, so much more
beautiful.

and even though I cannot breathe,
I want to watch the sunrises
and the sunsets
and sit through the storms
and the cloudy days
and the twinkling city lights
at night.

Excuse me doctor, what do I do?
When it is legal to drown these feelings in alcohol
but illegal to drive myself home,
I feel lost.

I fear I'm
drowning in my love for you
