How Do You Do It. Poem by Shannon Nicole

How do you do it,
When you know you shouldn't.
How do you do it,
When it's not allowed.
How do you do it..

You make it seem so easy,
Being perfect.
You may not see it,
But you're perfect to me.

How do you do it,
When you're supposed to be focused.
How do you do it,
When it's something that takes time.
How do you do it.

You always know what to say,
Even if I don't want to hear it.
You smile at me and make me laugh,
Even when I don't want to face it.

How do you do it,
When you should be able to ignore it.
How do you do it,
When you're looking away and hiding.
How do you do it.

I don't understand,
How you can make me feel this way.
I don't get why,
I'm so caught up on something you said,
Like it's the end of the world..

How do you do it,
When my heart starts to race.
How do you do it,
When those butterflies fill my stomach.
How do you do it.

I could look into your eyes,
And I nearly melt.
You could just look at me,
And I'd blush.

How do you do it,
When I can't even look away,
How do you do it,
When color comes to my face,
How do you do it?

I take a glimpse at you,
And I can't even blink.
When you smile at me,
My breath gets caught in my throat.

How do you do it,
When my mind goes blank.
How do you do it,
When my lips start to bleed.
How do you do it.

I'll have something I really want to say,
But can't remember because you smiled at me.
My teeth attached to my bottom lip,
Because I'm not so good at hiding my smile.

How do you do it.
