This world is spinning
And my head along with it
So I just sit writing
And wait for a hit
That magical moment
When I cannot stop
And my fingers take charge
Recording my thoughts
That time when life
Reveals itself
And it’s all I can do
To contain myself
That moment of joy
That feeling of grace
Where all the words
Fall into place
When I saw you
And sat here and wrote
My thoughts anew
So much beauty and poise
I just want to speak my thoughts
But I cannot make a noise
So instead I sit
In front of this machine
Watching my fingers flit
From key to key
Seemingly random
These thoughts enter my head
I see them differently
Things of beauty instead
Thoughts of you
And who you are
Where you are from
What your joys are
Your amazing smile
That takes a place
Of great wonder
On your face
Your laugh so sweet
I could listen for days
Your quirks so endearing
They make me crazed
These sights I see
And feelings I feel
Sometimes I wonder
If they could be real
For never before
Have I felt like that
And never before
Have I seen anyone like that
I would walk the world over
For another chance
To see you smile
And watch your eyes dance
Beautiful
And endearingly shy,
As awkward as me
And I don’t know why.
And no matter
How hard I try
I can’t shake that feeling
The feeling of longing
And the wish for your warmth
The ability to hold you
In my arms
To sit and talk
And laugh away
To be with you
Each day.
