I know you are there
Just not who you are
I’ve seen you before
But always too far
The grocery store
Or same old cafe
Sometimes you are there
But not every day
Whenever I spot
Your face in the crowd
I lose my control
And stumble around
I sneak in a glimpse
And silently pray
But when you look back
My eyes shy away
Your beautiful hair
Smooth skin and round hips
Your sparkling bright eyes
And kiss-worthy lips
Unthinkable thoughts
Unwanted desire
Your feminine looks
I greatly admire
If only I had
The courage to say
“Would you like a drink
Next week or … today?”
At night I can’t sleep
Keep thinking of you
It’s hard to believe
What hormones can do

“Falling in love is one of the most irrational behaviors or brain states imaginable for both men and women. […] The fevered brain activity runs on hormones and neurochemicals such as dopamine, estrogen, oxytocin, and testosterone. […] Studies of passionate love show this brain state lasts for roughly six to eight months.”
