I remember the day
like it was yesterday—
all I could see was the light
gathered around your face.
Who would've known?
An angel—
an absolute angel
had just come into my life.
I couldn't take my eyes off you.
Everywhere you went,
my gaze followed—
like a cat stalking a mouse.
Because
I knew if I blinked,
I'd lose your beauty,
never see another one like you.
It got me thinking—
what would it feel like
to be inside your world?
As soon as I walked in,
your smile
lit up the room
like a thousand candles.
She...
was...
on...
my...
mind...
I wanted to know
everything—
your name,
your favorite color,
how your days began and ended.
Thinking about you
was an understatement.
For days,
my mind veered off—
thoughts of you
made me lose track of time.
The conversation
came so easy.
I couldn't help
that you were on my mind
all of the time.
I got your number,
then kept finding reasons
just to send you a text.
You said you like to read—
I like to read too.
In fact,
I was reading a book,
hoping you'd want
to read it too.
How did you do it?
How did you
look me in my eyes,
smile in my face,
then steal my heart
and walk away
as if nothing happened?
I hope you play your part—
as for me,
I was yours from the start.
I saw the prize
and decided to make you mine.
In your face
is where I looked—
I looked you dead in the eyes.
Your gaze grazed my skin
like sunlight on grass,
my heart fluttered.
Because
this beautiful brown-eyed woman
had me shook.
I watched you walk from the door to the closet—
a walk that says
she knows she's fine.
My eyes turned you
every which way but loose—
those thighs had me mesmerized.
I thought
I had seen beauty before,
but nothing compares
to the grace I've witnessed.
I had no idea
how important you would become.
You captured my mind,
then my heart.
All control I had
left when you entered.
I wish
I could have my destiny rewritten—
making you mine forever.
Our eyes met at the desk,
the butterflies came flying out of me.
My words jumbled up—
all I could do was relish in your beauty.
I'm certain you get that often,
but I wouldn't be myself
if I didn't just come right out
and tell you:
Your eyes make magic
feel real.
The sound of your heartbeat
makes my chest wince in pain.
You are stunning—
but can I get to know you?
I mean,
really know you.
Take you on a date,
take a trip,
learn your middle name.
I mean, damn—
captivating
has never been an understatement.
But when you're around,
my time stops
and speeds up at the same time.
Esa mirada en tus ojos
me vuelve loco.
I could stare into your soul
forever.
