The Creation of a New Emotion

The Creation of a New Emotion by Richard Perez

We lock eyes for only half a second. But as for the message, I get it. Likewise, she gets mine. I must say that this time, I got to meet this girl who’s this fly. So we both glance once more, just for confirmation. It’s confirmed, and we smile with no hesitation. Our eyes lock again, but for a longer duration. And as we stare we walk towards each other to start conversation. My heart’s racing like speed was laced in my sprite. I’m feeling high as a kite. My jaw hurts from my bite. My head is feeling light, and its time to let out my right hand. I stand in such an awkward position. But when our hands meet, it changes my condition. All it takes is one touch of her tender skin, and relaxation settles in at the same time high doses of adrenaline. So what the fuck is this? I think I’ve just witnessed the creation of a new emotion. I have no explanation of the origin, but suddenly I feel it raging more within. Possibly it’s from somewhere between her brown eyes and mine, her fingers and mine. I am not sure, but the feeling is definitely one of a kind. One at a time each part of my body goes numb. My legs almost lock, I almost feel dumb. It’s a simple analysis, her touch, her sight, and even her scent can give a man paralysis. So what’s the diagnosis? Is this emotion poisonous? Seeping through my skin like osmosis? Well I’m not feeling normal right now. Did I have too many doses? If I did, I don’t care, and I never will. That’s just how good this new emotion feels. And I don’t want to name it because I’m afraid the name might change it. Instead I’ll just savor it, and express it to the one that gave me it.
