I wanted to express
and explain
the way u make me feel
I sat there
thinking about which words to use
and how to say it
but eventually
I found the words:

you say my voice is calming
my appearance is, too
but I look at you
and my stomach acts
like it's a rollercoaster
a contest with the heart
which stops
when your almond eyes meet mine
framed in silver
becoming my safe space

when your almond eyes meet mine
framed in silver
it's like time stops

however,
thinking back
these moments run by
so fast
too fast
it's not even been 2 minutes
and I miss them again
those crazy almond eyes
even though
my brain knows exactly
how they look like
yet I still can't get enough

I said you're calming me
maybe that were
slightly the wrong words
because
when I talk to you
all my crazy thoughts
which swirl around my head
lay down
for the time we speak
allowing me to breathe
and that is
what calms me
but do they really lay down?

no.
I just focus on you
in so many ways
my ears
listening to your voice
not being able to hear anything else
my eyes
following your movements
and eventually
landing on your perfect almond eyes
not wanting to see anything else
my skin
still feeling your last hug
my brain
remembering your smile
not able to think about something else

but when your almond eyes meet mine
telling me it's alright
that is
what calms me
