from my window

my skin reacts
goose bumps tingle up and down
the blood in my viens seems to speed along
my brow expresses a hint of my feelings
with a glisten of sweat-
my hands sightly tremble
I should keep them out of sight
my eyes fill up with moisture
and a painful longing
as you enter the room
words do not form
my lips remain still-
again you are so near
my breath is held
as you pass I breathe you in
and while you leave
I close my eyes and prepare
for the next opportunity
by simply reliving
that nearness of you-
all through my body
