Don't Blink Or You'll Miss Her Poem by Simon Olafsson

Love is indefineable and foreign.
It's changeable because we are changeable.
We live within our hopes and dreams.
And we hope to find whoever can fullfill these things.

I've just watched her walk away from me.
But the thing is... she didn't leave me.
No, she walked straight into me.
Maybe she didn't want to, but she's here now.
I can't see her.. but i can feel her.

Pictures are used to make moments last forever.
Sunrises, sunsets and midnight stars.
I've captured them all through a lens.
But no sunrises, sunsets or midnight stars could ever be compared to when I look into her eyes.
It's the only moment i want to last forever.

I'm now afraid to hope and afraid to wish.
It's all I've been doing so far.
Dreaming about that one thing I can't define.
But she's unlike anything I've ever hoped or wished for.
She's so much more.

Whenever I want to shield her away from all the pain.
There's just always one thing I keep realizing.
She's one of the strongest persons i know.

When she hides away her pain and fear for the sake of the people around her
When she helps others even though there were no one to help her.
When she makes the worst day of your life into something special.
When no one ever told her how beautiful she is, yet how unaware she is of it.

But afterall, we're only human.
And she's also been broken too many times too early.
But for her, life was never an option not to live.
Whatever she holds in her hands, it will always be herself who writes the story.

Just like a shooting star, her hazel eyes enlights the sky.
When you see her, you have to make a wish right in the moment.
Because if you blink, you'll miss her.
