After two days, you said you loved me
Catching me completely off guard
You feel things in their entirety
Not in fragments or broken shards
After two weeks, you promised marriage
I'll hold you to that one hundred percent
Shared dreams in a horse-drawn carriage
While my feelings for you augment
Holding your hand in the candlelight
The fires reflection in your eyes
Could gladly stare into them all night
As my hope takes wing and flies
Watching how you look at me
As the flame flutters and dances
Getting giddy, blushing shyly
At your mutters and sneaky glances
You astound astronomically
With you, I feel safe, protected
And you're even attracted to me
Something I never expected
Far too many things to say
Some words can't be expressed, as such
You compliment me every day
And spoil me way too much
Your Fairytale, the perfect reality
Only slightly starstruck
You are far too good for me
I can't believe my luck
Being single, I wanted to explore
Now all my plans have changed
It was the last thing I was looking for
Now look how your kiss has ranged
After we first met
My thoughts did wonder about you
My memory didn't want to forget
The short encounters we went through
But at that time, I was claimed by another
So, those thoughts of you came to a halt
Was blind to the suffocating smother
Locked away in a dark and tired vault
But even then, I didn't need any analysis
Kept this quiet and discreet
If I hadn't been someone else's
I would have asked to be yours in a heartbeat
Turns out, you felt the exact same way
Assumed the chance was slain
A second time, you forbid it to get away
Refused to let this pass you by again
With you, time seems to stand still
And almost comes to cease
Every want of mine, you fulfill
Experience nothing but peace
See your pale back exposed and bare
As my hands massage and reminisce
Rake my fingers through your hair
Pull you deeper into the kiss
Feel our energy combine
In splendid synchronicity
Your tongue travelling slowly up my spine
Ecstatic bolts of electricity
Nothing about you is superfluous
Didn't realise the true effect of your touch
You're addictive, you're dangerous
And I can never have too much
Eidetic
Empathic
Ecstatic
Eccentric
Electric
Enigmatic
My breath, away you stole
You're absolutely gigantic (or so I thought at the time ;))
You are such a beautiful soul
My hopelessly handsome romantic
Within me, you stir untouched emotions
Half of which, I don't know how to explain
Unbelievable, dazzling devotions
Your flattery, as sweet as champagne
But some things I know for sure
You are my only shooting star
None of these poems were asked for
Which is the best thing by far
Your affections, I will never dismiss
The passion behind your every action
Watching your face as you read this
I can't wait to see your reaction
I can never hold you close enough
No matter how tightly my arms encase
So, forget all the useless, worthless stuff
And pull me into your embrace X
