Nostalgia

I miss the way I used to look at you

Innocence releasing its barrier

I caught myself lustfully thinking 

Then hopelessly returning into reality

Dismissing any thought that would bring false hope into my delusional mind.

Grasping the sparkle in your eye

That inevitably sucked my breath straight from my lungs.

Finding a ridiculous excuse just to get to hear your masculine voice.

Your smile is the brightest and whitest among any star I've ever seen

I was unashamedly starstruck by your charismatic, effortless persona.

I looked forward to each day I caught a glimpse of the human being who I thought was no less than perfect

Passing alongside of you for the slightest millisecond would make my heart pulsate through the feather-like walls of my chest.

I observed you like you were something I've never seen before,

Simply because, you were.

I long to think that you are the same person you were when my juvenile eyes immediately encountered as the single angel among the mass of demons.

I ache for the way I once looked at you,

Because now,

It's a constant reminder 

That you are not the same person

I naively thought you were. 

Author's Note

I made some revisions, but I'm not sure if I'm satisfied with it just yet. Thoughts?

Oh. My. God. The depths of the emotions in this piece are so clear, and the perfection is just so... well, perfect. Your way with words is amazing.
Some poems you read. Some you enjoy. Some just swallow you up heart and soul (reference intended). Keep it up
