Metaphorically, In Countless Ways

Getting lost on good vibrations.

Love of mine,
with the eyes like emeralds,
shining green like summer grass in the bright, yellow sun.
The one with the stare that even pictures could bring me speechless,
much like your beauty,
much like your smile.
It's been a long time now,
over a year,
but not over two.
The days gone by thinking of you pass by, with the fire that you hold,
metaphorically in countless ways.
I don't understand why you would never believe me when I said that you were the most beautiful girl that i've ever seen,
because i've said it to others,
and I have lied,
lied my f*****g a*s off,
but never have I lied to you,
never had I ever had bad intentions,
and never will I,
for maybe i'm smitten,
or maybe this is love,
but I wish you could let me tell you I love you,
because I don't know if you'd want to be my Cinderella,
because I can't be Prince Charming without you, baby.
I don't have the gift you have,
the ability to stand alone, and be beautiful.
I never understood how you could be so happy all the time,
maybe you have a simple lifestyle,
and that's fine with me,
because as long as you have a smile on your face,
I won't be able to help myself from floating with the gravity you're giving me.
The others don't notice,
i'm nothing to anyone,
and if I could be something to you,
it would mean everything to me,
and I would do anything for you.
It's been a long time now,
over a year,
but not over two.
It's been a long time now,
and I can't forget you.

Great write. I liked the honesty. Seems like you were very caught up in her beauty, almost taken aback by it. I I really enjoyed this line " The days gone by thinking of you pass by, with the fire that you hold,
metaphorically in countless ways. " obviously you did too since it houses the title of the poem. It was poignant. Those people who hold our hearts are in such command and they don't even know it.

As far as the feelings of a lingering love, I feel like you do. I wish those feelings would fade. They don't seem to. It's been over a year now ..and not over two.. and I still miss him. Thank you for shedding a little light on an man's ailing heart.

I especially like this poem. It's refreshingly happy, yet I can see the sorrow in it too. I can't help but wonder though, is this person a metaphor for something else too?
