potential is a concept
a theory
a point of view
nothing scientific, but a feeling
and looking at you
it is all i can see

i am blind to the flaws
(which i doubt you have anyway)
and in your eyes i see my own
in your words i hear my voice
in every sign the universe throws at me
i see arrows
and they all point to
you

by me
loaded the gun
pulled back the trigger
doomed the potential that had bloomed
the first i had seen in a while
the first to have made me feel
anything at all
the first that did not make me run
away
but instead called me to you
tempted me in with every word
every glance
every moment
with you
told me everything i needed to
let my body know
that deep down
no one else was going to make it
no one else had a chance
not when you could look at me
for one
second
and i was yours
