Why?

Each time I see you
You take my breath away
When I talk to you
The butterflies get in the way
Why?

When we talk,
It feels like forever
When we are silent
It feels like there's no pressure
Why?

And yet I feel confused
For there is an unseen barrier
Which you have not removed
Like a shield to a warrior
Why?

If only you could see past
The fortress wherein lies your heart
That there is someone steadfast
Who wants nought but be a part
I wish...
