The second his eyes land on mine;
I know I'm done for
I know my heart skips a couple of beats
I feel it
I sense it

The way he speaks, the way he walks, the way he looks and the way he acts

All of the reasons I adore him

I want to call myself independent
But I can't
I'm dependent on him

He's the air I breathe
He's the water I drink
He's the oxygen to my flame
He's everything I need

He's all I can think about
All I can see
All I can think
All I can comprehend

But
Sometimes;
Only sometimes;
I'm okay with that
