The Beautiful Horizon of Your Mind

From the moment I gazed into your eyes,
I was hopelessly lost in a rush of your beauty,
stumbling around as I struggle to rise above the overwhelming attraction.
Incoherently I try to answer your forgotten question,
my eyes unable to tear away from the fiery pools of sapphire staring back at me.
Dark waves of hair cascade around your angelic face,
a perfect backdrop for such radiance.
My heart skips each time I catch you watching me,
eyes curious and intense,
each time I hear your voice,
always more wonderful than I could have imagined.

I continue to pass you everyday,
continue to remain unnoticed and ignored.
I’ve been watching from the sidelines,
staying silent,
yet a part of me fears I’m being too obvious.
Closing this distance would be near impossible,
as you have no eyes for me,
and I am still just a forgotten bystander,
a spot of insignificance on the beautiful horizon of your mind.
