In you, I see everything that is sought but very rarely found, hunted but very rarely captured, craved but very rarely satiated. You possess a rare gem, whose captivating sparkle is only seen by a select few. When my eye catches yours, I melt, the world stops, time slows down, I am entranced, nothing else matters, just you.
Your piercing brown eyes, like pools of warm cappuccino. Your hair, dark like the night, painstakingly manipulated into a ‘natural’ look. Your freckles, sprinkled over your nose and across your cheeks, like chocolate chips in a cookie. Your teeth, beautifully crooked, fighting for space in your gorgeous smile. Your cheeks, reaching for the sky when you’re happy. Your petite ears, the way you pull them when you’re tired or frustrated, absent mindedly manipulating them into alien shapes.
Staring at you calms me, my worries wash away as I observe what a perfect person you are. The way your laugh makes even the most beautiful song bird jealous, it is music to my ears. The way your humour makes even the most upset person transform into the happiest in the world. The way your kindness and compassion makes my heart soar, tears spring to my eyes when I see how much you care. You are a vertical manifestation of a horizontal desire. Staring at you pleasantly isolates me, it is only me and you in this world. No noise. No other people. No yesterday. No tomorrow. No time. No space. Nothing.
When you are gone, and I stumble reluctantly back to reality, I thirst for the cocktail of happiness and wholeness that you supply. I desire the beauty of your existence. I yearn the way you can make me feel like I’m the only person in this universe. I look deep into the eyes of strangers, but none mesmerize me like you do.
In you, I see everything that is sought but very rarely found, desired but very rarely captured, craved but very rarely satiated. You possess a rare gem, whose captivating sparkle is only seen by a select few. Love. And that, beautiful person, is why I stare at you.
