Love, oh so brief.

When you first caught my eye, i fell in love in an instant.
The beautiful sound of your laughter filled my ears and never ever went away.
I can hear it still, in those quiet early mornings.
The ones where all you can hear is your thoughts and dreams,
The sounds of the many birds chirping blissfully in the trees.
I yearn and pine for you.
I feel the bittersweet pain of imagining you lying there,
Your soul missing its identical twin in me.
Oh how i long to feel you in my arms again.
That first embrace you gave me, it was as if time itself stood still.
I felt the overwhelming joy of having all my dreams come true all at once.
My darling, you are my idol, my knight in shining armour, my confidante and saviour.
You have my very soul sitting in the palm of your hand.
It's yours to do with as you please and i am not afraid.
Some people feel an intense insecurity in this knowledge.
That someone loves them so much that they are willing to sacrifice everything they have for a situation such as ours.
I'm laid bare with all my thoughts of pure love for you.
I would wait an eternity for you if it were possible.
I have watched and admired you for so long.
I've seen you make mistakes, cry, laugh.
I've felt your pain as you talked to me about your problems.
I felt them as if they were my own.
I gave you my most sincere and honest answers as of course i should.
Despite knowing the pain was caused by another,
I wished you well and hoped that one day you would find the happiness you so desperately sought.
Like i said before you don't keep the one you love.
You set them free and hope they never want to leave.
That is how i feel for you.
I'm so grateful for the brief amount of time we spent together.
The memories of that night will spend the rest of my days on this earth close to my heart,
In a safe place where nobody can disturb them.
As we laid there naked as nature intended us to be, holding each other,
I knew i had to leave but never wanted to go.
I heard you say you didn't want me to go but you knew i had to.
My mind is filled with that sentence all day and night.
Did you mean it?
How i wish i could take us far away from this awful situation.
To go where nobody knows us so that we may live free of the fears we have.
To simply love each other like we want to.
Like we dreamed how love should be.
One day i hope my dream comes true if you do indeed share my vision of our lives, together.
You have an aura around you that captivates my heart.
It envelops my senses.
It knows i'm there and my heart beats so loud as i see you across a crowded room.
You look beautiful as always.
You don't believe me but its true.
Of all the people i have known in my life, you are the most precious.
When you walk into a room the atmosphere lifts,
My spirit is enlightened and i'm filled with a joy that defies description.
My beautiful lady,
I love you with all my heart.

About this poem:
I was thinking about what it must be like to fall in love at first sight. I imagined i had. All the emotions i would feel, what happened and where. A brief love affair that could never last. How would i feel to find someone and lose her just as quickly. Then i started writing as if it were completely true. The words flowed and i finished it in minutes.
