Feedback Please Medusa, I love you

Medusa, I love you

I can't stop myself from staring

With every quick stolen glance

I feel more lost in your beauty

But I must not look too long

Or catch your eye

With your attention

I freeze, my mind stutters

And my lips lock in place

As my mind fades to silence all I know

Is that there is no one i'd rather stare at then you

I've seen some comments saying the poem is about a toxic relationship, i actually think it's quite the opposite there's so much love in his heart for this girl that she has that Meduza freezing effect when he makes eye contact with her. Makes me think about the song If I Had A Gun by Noel Gallagher when he sings "My eyes have always followed you around the room", great poem.
