Infatuation

"You tell me to quiet down cause my opinions make me less beautiful,
But I was not made with a fire in my belly
So I could be put out.
I was not made with a lightness on my tongue so I could be easy to swallow.
I was made heavy.
Half blade half silk.
Difficult to forget
and not easy for the mind to follow. " - Milk and Honey (Kaur, p.28)
I could not help,
but think about you when I read this poem.
It describes you so well...
Half blade and half silk.
You are split.
You are strong, powerful and intimidating...
So delicate and pure.
Difficult to forget and not easy for the mind to follow...
You are so complex.
So intelligent,
my mind cannot keep up with your thoughts.
I simply cannot grasp onto you.
No matter how hard I try.
I love the way you think,
the way your mind works.
Thoughts seem to come so clearly and apprehensive to you.
They do not take much time to decipher and figure out.
You are passionate about what you know..
That is why you are so hard to neglect.
You have inspired me.
You have revealed to me
a plethora of excitements that life holds...
You make me want to bloom into something far more beautiful and intricate.
You make me want to discover my character,
beyond what others and I already know.
You know how the human heart and mind operate, preform and carry out.
You know how to manipulate me
to think what you want me to think.
You know how to make me fall for you,
but be scared of you at the same time.
It is extremely terrifying...
What you know, how much you know.
You think the future.
You have studied our actions and response to certain things.
You have studied the human race.
You have studied our mind and body chemistry.
You pay such close attention to life
and the reason why things are the way that they are.
You slow down when you walk on the sidewalk so you do not miss a single beat.
You do not drive fast.
You enjoy seeing every little movement.
Every detail.
It is all so valuable to you.
For these reasons I admire you.
And for these reasons, I won't ever forget you.
