This girl has taken over my mind.
My ears caught the whisper in the wind
And my eyes shifted to the swirling steam of this lavender coffee,
Held in the hands of a lavender girl.

Now I’ve seen flowered fields and sunlit forests,
I’ve seen nature through the eyes of an intellect,
Yet the beauty of the universe nor the mysteries it foreshadows
Can create the cardiac commotion that she can.

She’s my guardian angel.
She protects me in my sleep through dreams of wild comfort.
She appears to me when I need the sight of something miraculous.
Somehow this stranger keeps me happy.

This girl has taken over my perception.
I wander off to unspeakable corners of my mind
when her golden waves get tangled between her fingers,
Or when she grasps the sleeves of her sweater in her fists.
This girl has a smile as if God met with her personally
just to tell her that I would be alive to admire it.

I’ve seen this stranger sip her drinks, adjust her glasses, drop her books.
I’ve seen her at her most human state.
Yet she is still my celestial being.

Now, am I insane for loving someone I’ve never met?
Perhaps.
But I don’t mind the lack of sanity
if it means I can experience the soul touching adrenaline I get
when I think of her saying my name.

Will this girl,
Who has taken over my mind,
Ever know someone that sees her through these eyes?
Either way, My mind can’t escape
From this lingering question etched in my brain.
I wonder if this girl,
Will ever feel the same.
