Sappy Mess of Emotions

You

You’re a breath of fresh air,

You’re the midnight snack to tame my growling stomach

You’re the one person I never thought I’d find

The one ruby in this pile of coal

I’ve searched too many years for someone like you

But now that I’ve found you,

I’m afraid you’re too far away

But you,

You understand me but hardly know me

You speak my language of eyes,

My language of smiles,

And you listen,

You listen like you’re mute-

And when you’re eyes are locked with mine

It’s like no one else exists,

It’s like you’re trying to read me

An open book, with words written just for you

You

And in the greatest pleasure of knowing you

I wish I didn’t

Because you are distant

But I feel so close
