My mind drifted off and I became lost somewhere in a memory of you.
I remembered the first time I looked into your eyes and the feeling I got,
How nothing else mattered and how the world seemed to stop.
And just for a moment or two,
There was only me and you,
And how great that moment felt,
When your eyes made my heart melt.
I remember thinking how special you are,
When you smiled, your eyes sparkled like a star.
I wanted so much to take you in my arms and whisper in your ear,
"I love the person inside of you, take your guard down and have no fear."
I could almost feel your pain when you looked at me,
I wondered how, through the hurt you were able to see.
The wall around you was so thick and so strong,
You caged your freedom up, as if you did something wrong.
I wanted to tell you that it wasn't your fault someone broke your heart,
And that you are too special to have your life torn apart.
Then I jumped to the memory of the first time I felt your touch,
Your hands were warm and gentle and I think I liked it a little too much.
You made my body tingle from my head to my toes,
And I remember hoping that my eyes wouldn't let it show.
I wanted to stay lost in that feeling for a while,
It made me feel all warm and fuzzy, and I had to smile.
However, my mind does what it wants no matter what I say,
And before I knew it another memory of you found its way.
I remembered the first time you said, "I love you",
That memory brought a smile to my face too.
Then something must have happened because I found my way back here,
It made me sort of sad when I looked around and you were no where near.
My happiness must have stayed behind to guard my memories of you,
Because I can't seem to smile or chase away these lonely blues.
I have closed my eyes and tried to find the place where my happiness chose to stay,
I have searched and searched for the right path, but I cannot seem to find my way.
What I would not give to feel that way again, and smile with you again too,
You are so close and yet you are so far away. You know, I really do miss you!
