Here, Now, Forever

i dont know why i think about you so much
i never understood why
every single day
my mind always comes back to you
and i dont even know you
i guess you just have that certain something about you
that leaves me with a feeling that i have no control over
and i'm ashamed of it
how did i let somebody affect me like this
somebody i have barely spoken to
is it the understanding that i saw in your eyes
the way you can just read me when you look at me with that wise, knowing stare
the way i was utterly defenseless as i stood before you
as you stared directly into the eyes of my soul?
is it the way you refuse to be like the others?
the way you love your life so savagely?
this isn't love
this is madness
we never spoke for more than a few minutes at a time
and it was only those very few occasions
but you have been on my mind every single day for over a year now
and its scaring me and i want it to stop
i dont know what to do
what am i supposed to say to you?
what could i say?
it took a monumental amount of courage to bring myself to see you, to call you
knowing we've never walked on a beach together
or just spend a whole day getting to know each other just a little bit more
but i dont care.
i still like to tell myself that we are connected in some way
maybe this happens to everyone you meet
i wouldnt be surprised
i believe that
i belieive it
because i barely know you
but i would die for you

Quite a freefall this is, really. And I would like that somebody would have or had spoken or written something like this for me...*smile*  ...esp. the last lines:
