A Humbling Crush

Quite often, I come across stunning women, who evoke in me excitement and attraction,
And no matter how amazing, the thought that they are within my grasp has always been a foregone conclusion,
And then, there was you.
Everything about you is extraordinary and for the first time I find myself flustered,
Attraction inspires poetry in me but you have made me such a nervous wreck and left my mind clustered,
Thoughts of you bring beautiful words to mind, words that invite me to write and then decide not to mesh right.
You are the reason I am inspired to write and yet you are the reason I can’t write.
Before you, thoughts would simply naturalize into beautiful rhyme schemes,
And now, all I seem to do is awkwardly bumble over words in order to rhyme, it seems
When I put words together, I envision creating something as beautiful as you with words in its place,
And I realize capturing your beauty in words is as impossible as your smile not making my heart race
I like to think of you before I sleep at night so I can dream of heaven because the truth is you are the closest thing to an angel I will ever come across in this lifetime,
You are now the reason I remember to pray at night and you are my first thought at the break of daylight
Praying your beautiful legs would lead you into my life,
So that twinkle in your eye when you smile can brighten up my nights,
And maybe someday, like a flower in bloom whose petals the spring breeze has been kissed with
You will lay upon my lips with the softness yours are blessed with,
I want to be your superman so I am inspired to be fly,
But you keep me grounded but I can’t stay on land, because your smile gets me high
When in your awe inspiring presence my heart beats in a rush
And beautifully flustered words form, begging and screaming to be hushed,
And I painfully, hesitantly and unwillingly acquiesce to this humbling crush.
