Thoughts Of You
When I sit alone, what do I think about…
I think about you.
I think of your scent I wait to memorize,
The softness of your hair,
Your smooth body pressing against mine.
I think of how your breath will tickle me
like raindrops in the night.
I think of your movement…
The way you get dressed,
The way you brush your hair,
The way you dance and how you feel in my arms.
Drinking your favorite drinks and eating your favorite foods…
This is what I think about.
Am I crazy to have these thoughts running through my mind?
Is it unusual to want these thoughts in my mind?
I can't help it… when I think of you,
I think of everything about you.
You fill me with happiness…
I suppose that's why I think about you so much.
I stare at your picture… you are so beautiful.
I know you don't believe me when I say it… but it's true.
Was it luck that brought us together or was it destiny and fate?
I think about that at night too… everything still leads back to you.
Now that I've found you, I don't want to let you go.
If I lost you I wouldn't know what to do with myself.
I would go insane.
I've grown used to you…
you were once a stranger, but not anymore.
Now you're my friend… my companion…
the one I turn to when times are bad.
Are we soul mates that have finally found one another?
How do we explain our attraction?
Is it just the right words at the right time
that bring us closer to each other?
I noticed how easy it is to say "I love you" in writing…
but can we actually say it to one another?
Could something hold us back from uttering those three words?
Many people use that phrase,
is there any way for us to make our love unique?
I don't know if I've ever experienced true love…
I don't know if I ever will.
If I never feel love like love is supposed to be felt…
It wouldn't matter.
What I feel for you is all I'll ever want…
If finding true love means leaving what we have behind…
I gladly reject it and define love as you.
