My Eyes: spotted you
My Heart: beat faster as you approached me
Our Eyes: locked
Your Mouth: whispered things in my ear.
My Knees: went weak
Our Hands: we once held
Our Lips: locked
My Lungs: short of air
My Stomach: full of butterflies.
My Heart: “You love him.”
My Brain: “Be careful.”

My Eyes: spotted you with her; shed a tear
My Mouth: an upside down crescent moon
My Hands: shook at the sight
My Stomach: a butterfly graveyard
My Heart: torn to pieces
My Brain: “But I told you so.”
