it has been but hours since you were no more than a stranger
and now, you’re the one i crave most
you have to appreciate beauty when you see it,
and my words are the purest form i can conceive to convey to you how i study your face
how entranced and gripped i am by your gaze
how the moments between the current and when i see you next will be agonizing
so, when i first saw you,
i knew that it would be many nights hence devoid of sleep,
but replete with the thought of you
and that’s just fine with me
