you entered the room and it felt as if the temperature of the room had instantly risen .
knees weak , mind instantly going into overdrive .
i laid my head down to rest , not because i was physically tired but because i was fighting an internal war which mentally exhausted me .
I wanted to walk toward you , i wanted to melt in your embrace .
but I stayed seated , self-control being the only reason that i didn't break down and embarrass myself .
my eyes started burning and i knew what was coming next .
I left the room before you saw the tears .
trying to compose myself , trying to breath .
I returned and resumed my position of remaining quiet and blending into the walls .
but it felt as if you could see me , no matter how hard i tried to fade away .
I was not used to this and it left me vulnerable and exposed .
you brought the colour to my face , affected the speed of  my heart and slowed my breathing patterns .
so whenever you say that you're just a person , let me correct you .
to me , you're a whole lifetime pinned on hopes an dreams .
you're the honest definition of my happiness and mostly definitely godsent .
nothing less , mostly more .
anybody ever tell you different , then that's a lie .
