One Year Poem (Jan 2007)

High School Poems

I never knew the meaning of love, or what that great word entails,
I simply knew the definition, that left out all of the details.
I never knew what love meant, or how to tell if it was true,
but all this changed, the night I first talked with you.
I know what I feel for you is true, because it is no surprise,
that I can still see your face, even when I close my eyes.
I can still feel your arms, holding me so tight,
even after your embrace, has left my sight.
Even long after I go home, I can still taste your sweet kiss,
lingering on my lips, leaving me in pure bliss.
I know I am in love because I miss you, before you are even gone,
your voice echoes in my ears, until the break of dawn.
Your presence eases my pain, your name sends chills down my spine,
you are the only one I think about, and I am happy you are still mine.
We came back together on the corner, underneath the stars above,
what started out as an online chat, soon turned into love.
So now I will say happy one year, in my heart I know this is true,
I know I have waited all my life, to fall in love with you.
