My Reaction

My heart stops...
My head pounds...
My stomach churns...
I fall short of breath...
Memories flood my mind...
That stupid little dance you'd do
The songs you used to sing to me
The jokes you told,
Your distinctive personality
Your smile...
The tears you cried from laughing so hard,
Your sense of humor,
The way you viewed the world
And how you looked at me
Your eyes...
The way your body felt
Laying next to mine
The warmth of your skin
The safety of your arms
A secret touch
A stolen moment
A knowing gaze
An untouchable love
Time stood still...
They said it looks pretty bad
And you might not make it through.
I realize now how I truly feel for you
And how I always have...
The thought of losing you is unbearable
But what scares me more is that I never told you
And I may never get the chance...
