Listening To My Heart - Poetry/Lyrics

Poem 59 {We Met On A Bus}

I glanced up and saw you sitting across from me.

You sat oblivious to the world that surrounded you,

Oblivious to me.

I however wasn't oblivious,

That night I slept with nothing but curiosity.

You sat glancing out the window, the light seeped through,

Dancing around your black hair and your eyes glittering in your reflection.

I sat dazed and speechless.

Why can't I think clear?

You were on my mind and I didn't even know your name,

You didn't even know mine.

You didn't know I existed.

And even though you knew nothing about me it didn't matter,

You were stuck on my mind.

To me you were beautiful, you stole my breath

And I sat there knowing you were meant to be.

Though you still never glanced my way,

Your eyes never left the window.

Sighing I sat and let my imaginations take me to fairy tales and unicorns.

I was naive and dazzled,

Nothing or no one else stole my breath.

Why can't I breathe when the mere thought of you dances along my mind?

Why can't I even mention you, mystery boy, to anyone?

But most importantly why couldn't I talk to you?

And why didn't you notice me?

Why didn't you ever glance up and smile at me or lean over and talk to me,

Why didn't you notice me?

My dreams weren't in reach.

Even though I didn't know you, I loved you, I wanted you.

Even though I didn't know your name I could feel it.

I could feel the surge as you sat across from me.

I could feel the heat.

I could feel my heart beat.

I could feel my body and lips tremble as I filled with desire.

I could feel you.

But no glance.

Growing weak and losing faith,

My gaze began to fall as did my dreams.

Though one day sitting weak in my seat,

My gaze changed direction and I looked out my window.

That's when I saw it, those shining eyes glancing back at me in the reflection.

Stifled I glanced over my shoulder.

You were glancing at me, with that smile,

That smile I tried to picture for so long.

I blinked stupidly as you whispered;

'I've seen you all along'

Your hands closing the distance as your hand closed over mine.

With warmth, sparks and heart beat back.

Oh cause it was meant to be.
