Distant Chord

My heart skips a beat. Why?

It feels like butterflies in my stomach, fluttering its flaps.

My day seems to shine, as bright as diamonds in the skies.

I see sparks shooting in the horizons.

Then, a distant chord is hit,

Sounding like a chord of dismay

Echoing within my body like music resonating as it plays.

I begin to shrink and wither away like leaves do in winter,

while my heart aches inside in the still silence of the night.

Wondering why I feel this way deeply about someone I hardly know.

Rather, someone I just watch from a far and admire for all he does.
