There are days when my thoughts betray me,
When I can't help but think of you,
Even in the midst of textbooks and notes,
Your face appears, uninvited, but welcome too.

I catch myself smiling,
And I wonder if I've become a fool,
To let my mind wander to you,
When I should be buried in the rules.

It's the way you speak,
With a softness that stays, never shy,
The way your eyes hold stories
That make me forget the passing time.

You've woven yourself into my every thought,
Like a melody that hums through my veins,
And try as I might to focus on what matters,
You pull me back again, like a gentle reign.

How did it happen,
That I became lost in you?
That every corner of my world now holds
The shadow of the things you do.

I wonder if this is how it begins—
A slow fall, a steady rise,
And though I can't yet name it,
I think I'm falling deeper, no surprise.
