A Heart Flutter

Funny thing about a kiss, how it leaves you hanging on.
To feel the outline on your lips, long after they're gone.
That single moment…that rush of blood.
The flash of a smile that makes you fall in love.
A silence and beauty of an act so small,
Kept secret between each other, knowing that you'll fall.
Heart racing, mind whirring, the longing for more,
Stopped short when you wake up, dreams slipping away under the door.

That moment - still frozen - in the back of your mind,
Locked there forever to revisit time after time.
Yet still you can taste the traces of mint,
It's there ever so subtly...just barely a hint.
It's hard to believe sometimes that it's true,
Never having to argue whether or not the sky's blue.
No longer scared to say what you think,
Knowing it won't all be lost in simply a blink.

The way that we laugh and spend up time,

Forcing my feelings to spin into rhyme.

The effortless way we interact with such grace,

Please trust your heart enough, let your head fall into place.

The battle between the heart and the mind,

Is something so delicate, leaving us nearly blind.

Don't get tied up on words you're scared to say,

Emotions run deep, a price we're happy to pay.

Each beautiful moment and soft, gentle touch,

Actions speak loudly, it's all so much.
Sometimes I feel like my heart could explode,
Conflicted, yet happy, aware of emotion I've never showed.
It's funny how one moment can shape what's to come,
Too careless to think about what's already been done.
The difficulties are a given, they're bound to test,
Simply weeding out what's not for the best.

Skeptical of things ruined by the past,
Thinking up questions I've never before asked.
To think that we hide, running scared from the truth,

Our best years are now - fully living out our youth.

But remember no matter the time together we spend,

There's never seems enough when there comes an end.
The fear of a heart that could shatter once more,
Pieces I finally picked up, scattered all over the floor.

Even now when there's clouds covering up the blue sky,

I trust that none of this could ever be a lie.
