How Could It Be?

Written about my NEW crush, Joey. <3 He's Jewish and I'm Christian so I'm his Shiksa Goddess. Well, in my dreams at least. Haha. 3/23/11.

How many years have we been acquainted?
I'm sure I cannot tell you the number.
It is far too great for either of us to recall.
So why have I not noticed you until now?

Perhaps it was your wit and eloquence that caught my attention.
You voice your opinion so decidedly, yet still with a flair of humor.
Sometimes I ponder what it would be like to enter your mind
Just to take a peek around at the wondrously vast intelligence there.

Did my heart love until now? I quote Shakespeare in my head
Each time those plush and luscious lips smile at me.
Awestruck by your classically beautiful big brown eyes,
I sit and stare at you until I can take it no longer.

One cannot stare at something beautiful for too long
As they realize that nothing in their world is as beautiful as their love.
I feel as though we have some shot at happiness together.
Our personalities flow and mesh together seamlessly as if we are but one person.

Was I alive until now? I feel as though I were dead these 17 years
And the sight of your innocent yet knowing face
Breathed fresh air into my dull lungs
Spinning me 'round and 'round this carnival ride of love.

Daydreaming about you while the sun shines down on us
And dreaming about you as the moon fills my heart with longing
Is something I will never tire of, my sweet.
What else is there to say, but, I love you?

Author's Note

Eh Jewish girl and non-Jewish boy is close enough to what I was going for. haha

A very nice story in the poem. I like the internal conversation and the thankfulness to find someone who is special and needed.
