YOU ARE GOING CRAZY

She's always right there in front of you, yet you miss her so much. Like the breath you take in and out, you need her every second. Though she's available for you anytime but you still can't get enough of her. 

Anywhere she touches in your body leaves a flame of fire. And, when you stare into her sparkling eyes, you feel like getting lost in them. Within it, what you see is something brighter than light, perfectly made to govern the shadow lurking around your own head.

The peace you find in her smile which is so contagious only makes you fulfilled. Her hugs, the only place you can stay for as long as forever. Her arms make you so safe, your mini heaven on earth. And you glow differently when she's around.

You enjoy every minute you spend with her especially at night, when she's lying beside you, sleeping. Sleep won't find it's way to your eyes until you take your dose - studying her pretty face like full moon. You soak her beauty up like sunflower soaks up the sun.

And as she stirs, mumbling soft words you cannot hear, her one thin leg draped upon yours and one arm around your neck, you smile and wish she's dreaming about you. When her face moves closer to yours with only a half inch space to close the distance, your lips are almost touching and you just want to kiss her right there.

Let's say you have your cliche line that says - A beauty needs her sleep. And, you are a perfect gentle man that'd rather do it when she's not slumber, moreover she'll be lying next to you tomorrow morning.

But deep down in your mind, you said the same thing the previous night, the night before it, and three nights ago until you lost count of nights you'd wish to kiss her and maybe more.

Yet you know you can't because, just because - as close as she is to you, she's out of your reach. The distance between you is like that of the one between mouth and nose ridge, even the longest tongue on earth cannot bridge it. You are just resting on each other to serve different purposes. 

But for you, the connection is too strong to ignore and you want more. Though this is clearly an unattainable desire. Still so, it is a dream you can't give up on, you don't know how to and you don't want to. 

You are going crazy.
