Locked & lost

Locked

Our eyes are locked

And for that one moment the world stands still

I can’t breathe

No, I can’t

We’re frozen in time

The world continues on around us but we are…

Locked.

Our eyes are locked

It feels like you are diving deep into my soul

Crashing in the waves of all my emotions

Does it feel warm?

...Are you warm?

Does it feel right?

...Are you alright?

It’s a spinning motion really, a new sense of reality

But we are

Locked.

My gaze is locked.

I can’t look away

I am really trying here, I mean I’m sure everyone can see this

They are probably thinking we are lost

But..

We are.

We are lost in each others eyes.

It happened twice.

The first time it felt warm

I felt wanted

I felt desired

But then as if a snap back to reality

I looked away…

So as not to cause attention.

I really didn’t want to look away

I would much rather be lost with you

I’m lost.

I’m so incredibly lost.

I don’t want this to end

but it’s just not..

it’s just not.

Not, oh gosh what ISN'T it?

It feels like everything

It feels warm, and beautiful

And… desirable

I feel wanted.

Then the second time

The second time it happened felt like eternity

We were frozen, stuck,

I think you were mid sentence and just froze

We stared into each others eyes like we were trying to memorize the universe

It was long, and beautiful, and big

It felt so big

I was wrapped in your eyes, and you in mine.

In that moment we were out in a big open field

Running away from reality

As the wind breezes between us

Holding each other and smiling

There are no words.

There are no need for words

What would we even say?

Would you even tell me?

Maybe I am wrong, but

But maybe I am wright.

Maybe we are so lost

Lost in each other, lost in this moment

Lost with no direction

Lost with no understanding.

Now, its over.

The gaze has ended

And all I can feel is

Locked.

I feel so locked in this life

Like I can’t move left or move right

I must continue on

And the path in front of me doesn’t have you

On it

Near it

Beside it

It just doesn’t

Where can we meet?

Where can this be

Where I am happy

You make me so happy

You walked in the room and for the first time that day I smiled

I smiled so big I tried to hide it

Do you think they know?

Is it as obvious as it feels?

What am I saying…

All I know is I would much rather be lost with you and locked here

If even only for a moment.

what no reviews that's tantamount to a sin so i'll be the first to begin If this only happens in the movies how does it find its way into so many songs such as begin the beguine. You think of another, life has ways of giving divine magical moments that enter our hearts not really to be understood only felt I am glad you have had this experience. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings on one of a few very special moments
