POETRY: UNTIL I MET YOU

Until we met...
I knew a rose was lovely, but i didn't know how sweet
its' scent could be...
I knew there was sunshine, but i didn't know how warm
its' glow could be...
I knew i needed someone, but i didn't know how much
Until i met you...

the love i feel for her is an emotion
that comes from my heart without explanation, reason or cause,
without words from her mouth or movement of her body
my love constantly grows.
it's an overwhelming emotional feeling that comes over me
whenever she's with me or when she crosses my mind,
whenever we are together, time could stand still
because the love i feel for her is timeless, forever
always in my heart without end
the love i feel for her terrifies me at times,
knowing the friend i might lose in hope of something more,
so i keep the love that i feel for her hidden in the shadows
of my heart for i would rather love in secret
than to have lost what i have already found.
the love i feel for her is so stong i find myself trembling
with anticipation for tender loving touch or some softly
spoken words from her lips that would tell me that she knows
the love i feel for her.

I'll always need you,
Your love, your kindness, your smile.
One look from you can turn black into bright colours,
Dark clouds into a sunny day,
in my mind.

What do people see when they see us?
do they actually understand?
or do they only half understand and pretend to know the rest?
I don't think anyone can understand our feelings,
or atleast know the extent of our love.

A love that I can feel and follows me for my own comfort,
Even when you aren't around i can feel you with me.
For you are the one love of my life,
my heart has never felt like it does with you before,
and I can't live without your love,
I'll always need you.

Love is the feeling of joy you experience when 
        you are with the person of your dreams,
Love is when you look into someone?s eyes and 
        get a feeling of warmth and comfort,
Love is the feeling of care and comfort 
        from someone you are close with,
Love is slowly walking hand in hand with 
        the person of your dreams,
Love is what everyone dreams of 
        having when they are alone,
Love is thinking of each other 
        when you are apart,
Love is the feeling that you 
        are never alone,
Love is happiness through 
        someone else,
Love is thinking of 
        each other,
Love is smiling at 
        each other,
Love is eternal 
        happiness,
Love is forever,

Love is what I feel for you.
