I fell in love.
I was simply minding my own damn business, and someone beautiful came to wreck my peace.
These are the things which disgust me.

I cannot read.
I cannot write.
I cannot work or play.

All because there is one person consuming my thoughts and my actions.

I fell in love.
I was simply intrigued, not quite loving him yet, but every day I watched him carefully, as he did the same thing that he does daily, and I worked my schedule around to allow myself a few extra seconds with him.
These are the things I cannot stand.

I cannot walk away.
I cannot mind my own business.
I cannot read a book without him there.

All because there is one person consuming my thoughts and my actions.

I fell in love.
This time for sure, as I watched his eyes and stood with him there as he passed "I cannot tell you now! I'm not good with these things. Maybe later." He said. I was frustrated, and I nodded and watched him pass.
Interesting, how I both love and cannot stand this.

I cannot think.
I cannot dream.
I cannot do.

All because there is one person consuming my thoughts and my actions.

I fell in love.
I enjoyed my time with him, as we held hands and kissed and cuddled and laughed. "I miss you" I say. "I love you" he replies. Yes, surely.
These are the things which I love.

I can hold him.
I can see him.
I can touch him.

Because he is mine, and I am his.
All because there is one person consuming my thoughts and my actions.
