I am afraid

I am afraid to speak
Lest I say something wrong.
I am afraid to smile
Lest I break the spell
So
I am going to stand here
And watch you.
I will watch you smile
And memorise the way that you look.
I will listen to your laughter
And record its sound.
I will watch you when you are happy
And my heart will fill with joy,
It will burst.
I will watch you when you are sad
And my eyes will fill with tears.
I will watch you 
When you are angry
And even then I will not move.
I want to know you
I want to see all your moods.
I want to feel your every emotion 
There is not a single thing
I want to miss about you.
I want to hear your heart beat
Feel the blood racing through your veins.
I want to be inside you
Know you there as well as out
I want to know 
Everything about you.
