Unknown Love

I think of you and smile,
And all the while,
Shouting down the phone.
Getting in the zone.
I begging to say
When I meet you, nay.
When I hold you
I want to say
I love…

The words stutter in my mouth
She looks at me
“I’m sorry? I didn’t catch that”
I open my mouth again
But to no avail.
The words just don’t come out.

Why,
Why am I like this?
I know she’s the one,
I smile when I see her,
Hear her,
Hold her,
I love her.

She’s beautiful,
She’s…
She’s beautiful,
She’s…
I stare down at her.
She’s beautiful.
Nay,
Beyond beautiful.
She’s perfect.
She’s everything anyone could want.
Why she chose me
Is a mystery
But I love her for it
and always will.

I stared into her eyes
The gentle shine of blue-grey bounces
Back to me like lightning
Through a heart.
I gently kiss her head
And whisper in her ear.
