YOU

Happiness.

I never imagined

such feelings could touch me again,

and yet I feel them when

you are near.

Confident that I would never

find a man who would

cause my lips to smile,

I had given up on my chances

of joy with a man.

Then you entered my life and

gave me a reason to give

mankind a chance.

Both young, and with much to learn,

you and I are both new to this,

but I am quickly falling;

faster than anticipated.

You make my heart race

and my soul calm,

simultaneously.

I find I am slightly afraid of

falling in love with you.

Though I somehow think

I’ve already begun to fall.

The gravity of my feelings

is tugging and pulling

my heart down into the comfort of your arms.

I let it rest there comfortably.

You are the one person that

fills my heart with joy.

To be with you is the one thing

I find myself constantly wishing for.

No matter how many hours

I spend wrapped in your arms

it never seems to be enough.

This could be all that I’ve longed for,

but even if our love doesn’t last

you have been exactly what

my heart has been in need of.

You are all I could want now

and possibly forever,

but only time can tell if forever is to be.

Be with me always?

I long to hear you say, “Yes.”
