Someone

By Chahat Kansal

There’s someone I see, and I don’t know why,

But he makes my heart race, makes me feel alive.

The first time I noticed, my breath caught tight,

Something about him just felt so right.

Months have passed, but the feeling stays,

Fireworks in my chest, songs in my brain.

At first, I’d look and quickly glance away,

But now his gaze lingers, and it makes my day.

Maybe it’s nothing, maybe it’s just me,

Maybe I’m imagining signs that aren’t meant to be.

I try to forget, to push him aside,

But when he speaks, my thoughts collide.

Every little moment sends my heart in a spin,

Even his flaws feel perfect within.

But then I see others—so confident, so bright,

And I feel invisible, like I’ve lost the fight.

I try to stop, to break the chain,

But his presence makes me feel like a lovesick puppy, a feeling I can’t really explain.

No matter how far I try to run,

He pulls me back like the setting sun.

It’s strange how he’s built a home in my mind,

Even in silence, he’s one of a kind.

It’s not something I can share or show,

But it’s a feeling I can’t let go.
