Ignition


Your smile stunned my soul Leaving me in a daze My heart starts racing My eyes set focus on you Following your every move The way you walk with such confidence amuses me The way your arms sway back and forth as you paddle your way down the hall So clueless you are You have not even the slightest idea how much you to mean to me As you strut towards me the butterflies living inside my stomach go haywire They flap their sharp wings poking them into the inside of my stomach You have awakened them The closer you get the stronger and more frequent the attacks are Now that you're finally standing beside me the butterflies bust through my belly button As they exit my body you mutter the words "hey" In complete awe I still manage to respond As you walk away a smile invades my face My day has been made
