**fantasy** Poem by aira olayvar

Why does my heart go jumping every time I see you?
Why do I sense falling for you?
Is this for real?
What kind of feeling is bothering me now?
Wish I haven’t known you if this would just remain as my fantasy.
The truth is, I felt the difficulty of this situation.
I don’t know how to act normally when your presence is near me.

Is this love? Am I really in love?
When I think that we are together, my whole world is shaking.
Memories are always cherished especially when it is all about us,
No matter how rough and tough it is-
Forever you will remain in my heart,
For there is a special place provided for a rare person like you.
