Car rides, speeding hearts, pulled over

The pounding of my heartbeat was strong enough to hit a ten on the rickter scale. My mind raced and I didn't know what to feel. No words would stumble out of my mouth because, I was too busy choking on the unnecessary. I waited, you smiled, I sighed, we laughed. Every mile we drove increased my excitement. I wanted to go faster, I wanted to be closer, I wanted to escape and run away. The music hummed against the speaker on my leg, the vibrations only quickened my pace, as I reached to turn the volume knob to it's maximum. We gazed onto the road ahead of us waiting for it to crack. Green, we danced, we sang, I screamed, you jumped. Yellow, we slowed down, I reached for it, and so did you. Red, I licked my lips you blushed, so deep. And as I stared at the stop light, I turned to look your way, that's when the color of your eyes became engraved into my memory.

As I close my eyes thoughts of you overwhelm me,
I wish they'd disappear, so I no longer ache with want.
I know you'd never fall in love for the type I am.
Please stop being so wonderful, because I am dying.

My heart is cracking and beating fast whenever you are near,
My tongue stands still for you are so beautiful, I am lost.
I feel as though if I died tomorrow no one would know.
That I'm secretly haunted by the spirit of you.

I breathe in your fragrance and my heart stops beating.
You look to me and smile not knowing how I feel.
Do you think I'd ever tell you, what would you say to me?
Too bad I'll never know, I'm quaking and I'm scared.

To look at you is to stare upon picture perfect want.
I shiver inside my thoughts waiting to look upon you again.
I will be sealed to this spot where you once stood.
Maybe you could turn the corner and stand within me.
