Beneath the signature of madness A myriad of things are born When eyes meet, when everything else is irrelevant When all we know is that if we're not right next to one another our next breath won't come If it were to pour down rain on us right now we'd smile standing in that rain The world is laughable right now because nothing else matters but how we feel Rules are ignored with reckless abandon rules about having to work tomorrow Rules about a phone call we were supposed to make about things that needed doing Rules about someone who needed a ride home but will now have to find another one It's so insane that you plan for things like this You have friends set you up on blind dates or you have dinner with someone You plan days or even weeks ahead You buy special clothes for the special occasion You buy special gifts for the special occasion and that special occasion is just .. not that special Then there you are walking down the street or riding on a bus or shopping in the market or visiting a friend or at the office Christmas party just minding your own life and then There it is Out of nowhere, crazier still is this You know it's crazy You can hear every logical person in your life asking "what are you doing?" In your heart you can feel every one of their eyes locked onto you Watching you You don't need to be told with every passing second you're more aware of how absurd it is And yet Try as you might You just can't seem to care about any of that you're too busy being lost inside of someones eyes And most comfortably I might add It's in their eyes, but it's not just their eyes It's the way they use their eyes The way they look at you, or through you It's the way they stand, it's their body, it's their accent when they speak It's the unbelievable way that even though you're no where near them They're touching you, you can feel them The heat is unbearable you don't know when you don't know where you don't know how But you DO know SOON it's going to be soon You stare at them and in your mind you see a leopard You see a leopard crouched in the grass watching a herd of gazelle And you understand now just how that leopard feels They know how the gazelle feels and .. they're enjoying it It's perfect It has both predator And prey Your heart pounds in your head Your pulse quickens Suddenly You're startled as the cab driver leans over and yells out to you "You gettin' in or what?" You shake your head a few times to clear it, "yes, yes I'm getting in" "I'm sorry .. I was lost in thought" You give the driver an address Turn your head to look out the window into the rain as they pull away smile softly and say to yourself "I'll find you"
