blue

Im floating on liquid blue,
Thoughts running around my mind,
But if I'm truly honest,
Most prominent is you.
I'm not trying to think about
The outlines of your face.
I'm not trying to think about
Your smile on a sunny day.
I'm not trying to think about
Eyes as dark as coffee.
I'm not trying to imagine
Those hands on my body.

I'm floating on liquid blue,
And all I can think about is you.
Not how the water that holds me up,
Could easily end my suffering.
I'm thinking of you,
The source of my laughter.
I'm thinking of you,
My delusional happily-ever-after.
I'm thinking of you,
Your warmth radiates from a mile,
I'm wishing you knew,
I've loved you for a while.

I'm floating on liquid blue,
In an uncrowded pool near you.
Watching you fill canvas with colour -
jealous of how you make it come to life.
I stare from afar,
As you unwittingly play with my heart.
I stare from afar,
To capture your essence like it's art,
I'm stare from afar,
My toe-curling, lip-biting weakness.
Will I always be this far?
Longing to close the space between us,
My dear, Boy Blue.
