Dear Emotions,

well you did it. You made me ignore any logical sense last night. You got my heart to override my mind. You destroyed my nicely built walls protecting me from the glass "let's just be friends" splinters that dig themselves into my soul. You let secrets surface, now I'm vulnerable... and open with an unguarded heart.

And I want to thank you.

Halfway between high noon and sunset.
Halfway between the listening and daydreaming.

She's looking for love...

The way she always does, laced up sneakers, drenched in Halloween, pretending to be occupied by paisley colored thoughts.

And there it is, that familiar feeling
sweaty palms, butterflies, undeniable attraction.

A splash of adrenaline quickly turns into a wave of clarity.
She was falling...for him...head over heels.

Just in time for the stars to watch.

Drenched in vanilla,
waist-deep in thought.
Just a hopeless romantic,
capturing life in snapshots.

Eyes of dreams
a vision of Love,
the kind the world finds obscene,
the kind people let go of.

But you can't give up.
and you can't let go.
It takes time
for Love to grow.
And it takes Heart
to touch another's soul.

Keep Hope through silence.
Keep the butterflies alive.
Practice Patience,
it's the only way they'll survive.

You think I'm wishy washy,
complicating and confusing.
Consistant decoding of my behavior
has got you choosing.

Should you continue to make logic of my creative mess,
causing you to be cautious, worry and stress?

Or guard your heart
and guard your pride,
break our connection apart
and push me to the side?

But I want you to know I'm falling hard,
I'm falling fast.
Praying you let down your guard
so this feeling can last.

I realize I'm no better than the rest.
I'm loosing sleep
competing with the best of the best.
but I take a risk, I take the leap.

and wait for you
to be on the same page with me.
