Something about you

Makes me smile,

Like I haven’t smiled

In a long, long time.

 

Something within you

Makes me desire you.

In a way I haven’t

Desired for so long.

 

There’s something

About you,

I can’t turn away.

 

It's either

The way you look at me,

Or when you smile

At me that way.

 

You could be an Angel,

That flew through my door.

Or are you the devil

Wrapped in disguise.

 

I don’t know,

I don’t care:

When I wake up

Each morning,

I want you there.

 

Call it what you may.

Call it what you must.

Love at first sight

Or pure lust.

 

Your beauty exceeds

What I've previously seen,

While your presence

Makes me feel

Like I'm in a dream.

 

Thoughts and questions

Go through my mind,

Wondering,

What it would be like

 

To hold you

In my arms

To kiss

Your beautiful lips:

 

To walk

Hand in hand

Through life together.

Instead of alone.

 

Would we be compatible?

Would we last?

Could we talk?

Of Our future,

Discuss our past?

 

Could we drift?

Through blissful

Clouds of life,

With hearts

Intertwined?

 

Or would your love

Slice me open

Like a knife:

Leaving me behind.

As I tried

To recover my mind.
