A Poem

I thought I'd share this poem. I wrote it probably about 15 years ago and it's amazing how it still makes sense about the same person. Maybe people don't change as much as we think...

In just one look, only a glance
He stole my heart and made it dance
Is this love or something I dreamed
Walking on air is what it seemed
Hoping for love in hidden places
Searching through stars, walking through mazes
Trying to find someone to trust
Wondering if what I'm feeling is lust
So hard to believe, but so easy to feel
I think this is love or is it appeal
Swimming through this state of confusion
Wondering if he's just an illusion
Strangely I'm scared of feelings so great
Can anyone out there ever relate
Everything out there appears so hazed
Beginning to wonder, am I crazed
Putting my heart out on the line
Wondering if he'll ever be mine
Floating like a cloud in the sky
This love I feel seems to make me high
Making my feelings begin to soar
This love I need, always desiring more
Will this love ever lighten
Feeling it now only highten
Though I tried hard he saw how I felt
He made me feel special, he made me melt
I see now that I was just a fool
I tried way to hard to play it cool
Believing he was so very kind
I see now how love is only blind
I felt so safe in his arms
Realizing now, he used only charms
Seeming so much like a sin
But wondering still what might have been
Knowing it would only be a matter of time
Until I came to the end of this rhyme
But praying still
For just one more thrill
So strong on the outside and tender within
He never knew just where to begin
Hiding his feelings deep in his heart
Never wanting them ever to part
His sweet tender lips, his soft silken kiss
These are things I'll forever miss
His smooth country voice was hard to resist
Does my match really exist
On a journey in a search for love
I ask for help from the above
Memories now are scrambled and few
Wondering if he feels this way too
It appeared so true yet so hard to believe
I saw way too late and now I grieve
Remembering words he had said
Feelings are numb, almost dead
Hoping my feelings again will grow
Feeling the wind begin to blow
Thinking right now as I cry
A small part of me inside is starting to die.
