The moment

My mind is blank,
as the moment draws near.
My heart is racing,
nearly paralyzed by fear.

When I look in your eyes,
I can't even blink.
So beautiful and deep,
in them I want to sink.

Locked in the moment,
both body and mind.
Oh how I have waited,
for something of the kind.

But every time I kiss you,
I feel something deep.
I open my eyes,
and wake up from my sleep.
Sure, there are plenty of other fish in the sea. But you are nowhere near the sea. You are in the desert. Alone.
