One
When I first met you,
I fell in love with you faster than my foot can thump the ground to the tune of rock music.
I've written you letters and scribbled poems before I even know the ink of my own love letters.
I wanted to impress you, I wore my heart on my sleeve.
Two
Your smile reflects the light of the sun brighter than a crescent moon.
Your voice, a melody that's never off tune.
Your beauty, as still as a coastal lagoon.
I wish I could steal your heart by playing my bassoon.
Three
Secrets written all over in wandering eyes pleading for understanding,
I was an old piano in the basement, housing dust and cobwebs.
You're that great musician who arrived just in time,
Dusted me off, fixed my broken strings, and played me like a dream that has never been forgotten.
Four
Your voice is the only alarm clock I'm willing to wake up to.
Loving you was the first thing I really felt right about.
Five
I know that it's wrong to have this much feelings for someone I've only known for months.
I know that I should stop ruminating what I feel.
I know that I shouldn't have acted in a rush.
I want to apologize,
but my heart refuses to say sorry for acting on what it really feels.
They're so real I can touch them.
Six
I know I'm not a strategist, nor am I a love poet.
I'm just someone telling stories that my heart keeps on shouting with words louder than loud.
Seven
I fell in love with you faster than my foot can thump the ground to the tune of rock music.
With great effervescence I shouted at the sky how much I feel about you.
But the sky's ears are numb with all the shouting my heart has done in the past,
A poignant reminder that it's never going to be that easy.
Eight
Your voice is the only alarm clock I'm willing to wake up to.
But this morning, with heart cracked under the sad gaze of loneliness,
I lift my chest lowered by longingness,
Throat strangled that almost all talking is impossible,
I mumbled for the first time... and the last time,
"Yes, I love you...
And yes, I'm now willing to let go."
