senses overload

she tried her best not to look at him
her eyes betraying her beneath her lashes
if only for just one glimpse
could make her weak at her knees
fill her mind with giddiness
catch her breath and skip it
make her heart race faster
she just couldn't think

he hadn’t even walked into the room
and yet she could feel his presence
her every sense coming alive
as though searching to be tantalized
just to set her eyes on him, his smile
to breathe in his musky scent
to hear his voice ringing clear
just to graze his skin
and certainly to kiss him
even if it meant her dreaming

in a room full of people
he made his way around the crowd
if only to acknowledge her
he could’ve just nodded
it would’ve been enough for her
but he made it a point to say hi
and to her surprise
he took the seat beside her
her every sense was fulfilled
and possibly launched into overload

throughout the night
no one else mattered
nothing else did either
everyone was talking
the music was blaring
but all she heard was silence
with only him by her side
to have shared a glass
meant to have shared a kiss
for two lips touched
but just one rim

if only dreams came true
and i was meant for you
but alas, fairytales like these
hardly ever do.

i rhymed for you, sigh
whatever will i do?
it aint good to be like this
hung up over you.
