A poem

The Picture

Have you ever looked at a picture
Of someone you barely know?
Only to feel your drawn closer,
Confusing, for reasons unknown.

Each day you look at the picture,
Emotions arise from deep inside.
Thier eyes are truly a magnet,
I feel like i'm losing my mind.

I swore off all types of feelings,
Been crushed way, way,too many times.
But damn whats going on now,
Doesn't seem like it's going to subside.

I know that i sometimes have issues.
But clearly this, is not my fault.
My heart is doing its own thing.
My thoughts are all strangely lost.

I cannot quit looking, quit losing,
Myself to these magical eyes.
I find that the feelings it conjures.
Are the moments i feel i'm alive.

If ever this pic becomes reality.
I just dont know what i will do.
My heart is entangled with feelings
My thoughts will all be askew.

     Written for the one in the picture.      (Its all i have of you except 4 memories)

I trust....I believe....i await
