For You

By Poemist

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Once in a great while you meet someone Who touches your heart like none before And all the rivers of emotion Flow into the empty channels of your soul You long to breathe their scent To feel their touch You search your dreams for images And live to hear their voice To hold their hand and quench their fears To start each day with them by your side And to fall asleep looking into their eyes Someone with whom you can share life’s treasures To know that even the bad times will pass With less suffering if they are there You feel they hold the key to your love You are but a prisoner to their heart Every breeze you feel whispers their name And, if fate could be guided by my hand You are the one I would have forever I love you.
