An Impression

 

I see you standing so close
I want to leave an impression
That you’ll treasure the most
And never question.
 
You smile and talk
But to me you are quiet
And I feel like I can’t walk
Because I feel disquiet.
 
You are everything to me
But you don’t know that yet
When you say my name I can’t breathe
It’s like we’ve never met.
 
Sometimes you are so close
I feel happy, then morose
I wish we could embrace
And you would look into my face…
 
And we would both smile.
This has been on my mind for awhile.
