Chasing Pavements Poem by Sikhona Gqabaza

My mind was made up
The thoughts of you were flooding my thinking
I knew what it was could not be lust
I found myself walking down the road of love
Or not..
Could i be chasing pavements?

I come a cross a smile on my face
I lose focus when i think of you
Seeing you gives my whole body a burning sensation
I get hot flushes when you flash your smile
That thing that looks like a dimple on your face...
Yes that one;
It makes my heart jump in joy
This little heart of mine that should be pumping blood
It caught feelings the day i saw you for the 1st time
I walked in the road of love..
Perhaps not
Maybe I'm just chasing pavements

The funny battle between my mind and heart
The mind argues that I've hit a dead end
Probably the pavements are leading me nowhere
The blood pumping organ has argued that maybe;
Just maybe, the pavements could go on
It doesn't say how long or even where they are leading
I find myself laughing alone
Every time you cross my mind
Something overwhelms me
Truth is that;
I don't know what I'm feeling
But a feeling is there

A feeling of excitement when you pass by
I stare out the window till you turn the corner
I feel myself in the zone, seeing pictures of you on my mind
Gets worse when i hear my favorite song
You are all i talk about on the phone
It gets me wondering..
Do you have an idea at all
What is even the reason why
I find myself chasing pavements

Funny how my knees go weak
My heart races up and down
I get shy when I talk to you
My cheeks turn pink when you smile at me,
When somebody mentions your name
Start to blush at the memory of you
Should I send an email to the heart?

However..
My heart is convinced; I'm just chasing pavements...
