You paint my world
In the most breathtaking of shades
Blue, pink, green, yellow, red
You brighten my days

Whenever I see you
My troubles just seem to slip away
You hand me true joy
Like beautiful roses in a bouquet

In the depth of my heart
These enthralling emotions lay
Pulsating alongside my heartbeat, they sound
Just like that captivating music you play

But the moment you stand up
And gently look at me and say
"May I take my leave?"
I close my eyes and pray

That I will somehow manage
To keep my feelings at bay
So many things I want to tell you
Thoughts I don't know how to convey

I don't want you to go
But there is no other way
I just smile and nod
"Of course you may!"

When you are gone
I allow my thoughts to wander astray
Thinking that some day, I will work up the courage
And ask you to stay

For just a little while longer.








this poem is rather close to my heart because not only is it one of the first poems I ever wrote, it was also the original inspiration for my book Up, Up and Away
