Electric Eyes

For the briefest of moments, I could see
The possibilities of what could be
Never one to shy from a fight
Put to expose my heart, I just might

Could it be that when our eyes locked
That you felt the same, I was quite shocked
Electricity flowed through my brain
And I felt wonder instead of pain

What is this that I'm feeling now
From only a few moments, I wonder how
You've captured my imagination
And my world felt inflation

We've only talked but a few times
And here I sit writing these rhymes
There's magic from the moment we met
That I don't know what to do with just yet

I'm quite naive when it comes to these things
What's tugging on my heart, pulling these strings
Is it the possibility of a future we share?
Are you someone for whom I could care?

The next time that I saw you I couldn't believe
That from your presence I rejected reprieve
We stopped in the hallway and set our hellos
All the while the energy its intensity grows

I've thought about a future, and it's been so long
Since I've ever wanted to quote a love song
And then you slipped away I'm terrible at this
And to think this could have ended with our very first kiss

I know you're somewhere around there shining your light
Wishing for affection you shouldn't have to fight
Until we meet again, I keep this memory of you
And all the possibilities we could live through
