It's not #poetry month but I've been into them lately... "I'm trying to close my eyes
And catch a moment's sleep
But, love, my heart is racing at the thought of you.

The way your ears just barely wiggle when you talk
The the way you put pride into your walk like you've got this entire world beneath those sneakers.

My awe is greeted with sarcasm and confusion from the eyes of passer-byers
But the way someone could meet you and not fall in love is confusing "His interest isn't in you." they tell me
But one day it may well be
And I'll be standing right here if that day comes because your attention is too great a thing to pass up

I see your name on every wall
I hear your voice every time I listen in on crowds and I let the scattered voices sing on because nothing other than you seems to deserve my attention anymore

The off chance of us touching hands is all I can fathom anymore... I'm trying to close my eyes
And catch a moment's sleep
But, love, my heart is racing
Because of you."
