You see me and you see

dust blowing through
your perfect world, 
only for a moment
until you can't tell it apart
from anything else

and you see

a cloud wafting through
for an hour or two
before it continues on,
and I'm nothing
mesmerizing,
I'm just
there

and when you look at me

well,
you don't.

But when I see you

I see pastels
blazing up your eyes
and watercolors
dripping from your soul
and I can see the paint
coursing through your veins
and the lead drawing
the foundations of your bones

and when I see you, I see 
everything I want,
everything I can never have;

I see art, 
always there to be viewed,
to be admired,
but never touched - 

you are a
masterpiece,

and I am a critic
hopelessly in love.
