butterflies
The only thing I can compare it to is that flutter in mu belly that comes after finally receiving long awaited good news. Whenever I see your name appear on my phone, my body responds as if I've been waiting to hear from you for years. A rush echoes through me and anyone who has an eye on me will inevitably comment on the smile that sets my face ablaze after we hang up. They usually tease me but the good ones are happy and the rest are jealous.
I hear my housemates get told "no" time and time again by their supposed partners at the smallest requests. They tell me about their heatache while I put make up and pick out clothes quickly. They try and stay positive while I gt ready to be sweapt away for the 20th time that week while they wonder, "have a been wrong about what love looks like?"
I know the answer. We have all been wrong but I somehow got it right before running out of chances.
Next, I'm sitting outside while someone tries to figure out what she is going to do to fill her day and keep from going insane. My phone vibrates twice and the butterflies enjoy the message.
Only minutes away.
I try to listen but soon I am distracted by something otherworldly.
Half of you appears a few feet away. Your upper half is framed by the drivets side window and your crystal eyes are hidden behind dark glasses. You always see me first and I like it that way. You don't always smile and I like that too. You watch me walk your way sometimes and I notice when you don't. You watch to see my face in order to read my mind. It never takes longer than a minute for both of us to get a thorough read on the other one but we always ask anyway.
We're always better than we were a minute ago.
I slip into your car and sometimes we don't kiss right away. My eyes control me behind my own dark glasses and I look at you everywhere. My mind tells me to take it all in because you could be a dream.
So many years I've speant in your passenger seat with the butterflies at full speed. They'll never get tired and ill never stop looking.
