I first saw you,
running so carefree.
From then on,
you’ve held me with intrigue.
I met you at the bookstore,
a place I liked to hide.
I never knew I’d meet someone special there,
you took my heart for a ride.
I tried to keep away from you,
I tried to run.
But the truth is – without you –
I would have missed a world of fun.
I didn’t want to stay here –
This isn’t where I want to be.
But I know now that without you --
Is not a place I want to see.
To think of all the things - -
I could be missing in my life.
I don’t want to think of any,
Not once - - not twice.
You are the one I love,
Ever so dear -- ever so kind.
And ever since I met you --
I can’t get you off my mind.
I never studied poetry,
and I hope that is alright,
because I probably butchered this one --
so far out of sight.
But all I really want to tell you --
is how I love you so.
And all that I really need --
is to be where you will go.
