I wanted to write you a poem
A sonnet, a ballad
Hell, even a limerick
Just something beautiful
But I found myself unable
To find words that meant
All that I needed to say
How to express that feeling inside
That over brimming of joy
Exultation, infatuation
That fills my heart
Till it feels like the seams shall burst
And how to tell you
That every moment without you
I feel I shall fall into a million pieces
Only saved by the thought
That you are there waiting for me
Waiting to hold me in your arms
Arms I could live and die in
Hanging on your every word and whisper
I long for you every moment
Dream of you when I sleep
My only desire
Your smell, your voice, your touch
God, how I long for thee
All I wanted
Was to write a poem
But, I could not find the words
