Forbidden Fruit

He is the forbidden fruit
I can only look
But cannot touch

I want him
More than I have ever wanted something else
It is excruciating
Temptation looks around every corner

I get butterflies in my stomach
They flutter up and catch in my throat
I feel like I can't breathe
I catch my breath

Fate is just dangling him right in front of me
But I’m on a leash and can’t quite reach
