I Have Never Felt So In Love
Had me captured by her smile
Her bright blue eyes under the summer sun
Laughter so careless and free
The tongue to hide her upper lip,
Once she notices how careless and free she laughs
I was too blind to notice the love I had already found
She had come over one night to stay
It was the first night that she had stayed
We sat in bed for hours
Talking, kissing, not talking, kissing
She was the most innocent woman
She claimed the most mature beauty
“Can we have sex?”
Astonished
My ears were not playing tricks
We made love on my bedroom floor
Her and her family had headed to Florida
I imagined dialing her number
Made a self-promise to not seem so attached
I left my flip phone keys alone
Answered every one of her calls though
Six days later her car pulled into the driveway
I waited on her rusted chairs at the porch
My mind was left blank when I saw her
Besides one thought to corrupt my tongue
I had told her I was falling for her that night
I had never felt so in love
We used to have a spot by the river
Think endlessly of nothing at all
Stare at the fish and watch them pass
Sometimes talking and sometimes not
The silence always calmed my frantic head
On that sandbar one warm night I will not forget,
She had told me what I had meant to her
I had never felt so in love
Sleeping alone used to come so natural
Now this arm feels abandoned in bed
I should not blame that fall we spent together
That hotel room has screwed my head
Tonight I will toss and turn again
I have never felt so alone
I am mad in love with this girl
She holds my heart in the palm of her smooth hands
I dream to move in with her one day
I dream to never feel so in love
Her hair stopping above a white lace
A smile to light this church
My fingers shaking below the cuffs
I hope to never feel so loved
This thought has been seizing others
My future is lurking in her presence
She is my high school sweetheart
She will be my wife
