When I think of you
Roxana Stuart 1972 (Georgia)
When I let my mind wander, when I let it take me there,
I lose myself in those thoughts for sometimes hours at a time.
I have imagined many a conversation and enjoyed each and every one.
We have laughed and whispered our secrets to each other.
I have loved you over and over again, professed and out loud in my thoughts.
But when you smile at me in real life, I stumble and stutter.
I feel like a teenager, inexperienced and new at life.
I want to take you into my arms, and tell you everything in my heart, and share my mind with you.
You hypnotize me with your eyes and your beautiful smile.
I can't think, I can't speak, I just want to look at you.
