LOST IN LOVE

MY DAD WROTE THIS POEM FOR MY MOTHER BEFORE SHE DIED LAST YEAR IN 2012. I WAS ONLY TEN YEARS OLD...

I think and I think but here I sit, 
In front of my computer screen, dimly lit. 
I peruse my thoughts in search of her, 
And when discovered, my thoughts just wander. 

I love her with all of my heart, 
But I don't know how to tell her. Where do I start? 
So I sit and I think in front of my screen, 
But my thoughts seem so meager and lean. 

I want her to know how much she means to me, 
But it's hard being in love and making the other see. 
I felt this way for quite some time now, 
And I know I need to tell her but I don't know how. 

One idea works in my head, 
But I know that it'd be shot down dead. 
The perfect scenario, it's in my mind, 
But sifting it out, it seems too hard to find. 

I interact with her from behind a mask, 
But I know, at this point, removing it'll be a task. 
I think and I think but what I search for evades me, 
And so I sit with my computer screen in front of me. 

I can only think about both of us, together, 
And how I'd treat her, delicate as a feather, 
Dropped from an extinct bird, seemed to be lost in time, 
That needs careful attention and can only be mine. 

I just want her to realize that she's the world to me 
And that she's the only one that will ever be. 
I want to hold her in my arms forever, 
Sharing our warmth, letting go... never. 

I can't tell her, my love is too strong, 
Besides, What if she hates me? What if I'm wrong? 
So now I sit here, sad and blue, 
Wishing we could speak words that lovers do. 

I love her with all of my heart, 
I want to be with her and never part. 
I hope she returns my love 
So I pray to the stars above. 
I only wish I could make her see 
How much her love truly means to me.
