Show Poets Corner When I saw you for the first time I fell in love with your cynical al smile When we sat and talked for hours I learned that you and I idolize the same actor When we spent t time together we shared pur our thoughts feelings philosophy and even our sense of injustice tice When I saw you during the day I studied you facet by precious facet When I went home at night I anticipated ted the next day when I would see you again When I sensed that you might truly enjoy my company I cautiously held back When I longed to call out my approval of you my need for your attention my voice faltered When you left I hoped yes even prayed that the inner turmoil would subside When you were gone I thought of you often fretted for your well-being well and applauded your freedom When you returned I searched for a place to run and hide from my reactions to your presence When you walked into the room I still felt a mysterious mysterious mysterious ious tightening in my chest When you spoke my name it its s still till took all the inner strength I could muster to hold back the tears When I dared to look into your eyes I could still feel myself being drawn inside yourself against my will When the tears came to my eyes on that day a wise friend encouraged me to allow myself to accept my feelings without fear When I think of you these days a lump still rises in my throat throat a a solitary tear still stains my cheek When In the days and nights to come I hook look upon the stars or feel the mountain breezes blowing through my hair or glimpse the blue moon I Ishall Ishall Ishall shall remember you fondly and rejoice at having known you 1 |
