~Love Story Of Another Year~

A new year before me.
And behind me the old.
I've paid my penance with sorrow.
But what have I in turn sold?
And why have I grown so cold?
And why is my dreams shattered and my life on hold?

If I could only keep you.
For one night.
Near to me...
I would hold you close.
Let you melt away my misery,
And burn your face in my memory.
So I could always see...
You're right by my side.
Even when the world turns on me,
And I just want to hide.
When I just want to hide.

In my worst days,
I think about your smile...
Just your smile makes my heart melt, and beat.
Just one thought can do that?
What an amazing feat!

Because just your smile is more beautiful then any thought I have ever thought.
More beautiful then anything I have ever sought.
More beautiful then Ohio with It's snow.
More beautiful then the mountains of Colorodo.
More beautiful then the leaves in the fall In D.C.
More beautiful then anything I could ever see.

Can you just fathom?
You're the most beautiful thing to me!

(I started to write this about something else but I suppose my mind was on another subject. :) give it up for the first poem of 2006. I guess this site's been awhile coming)
