The Perfect Song

A poem I wrote when I thought I was falling in love.

I found the perfect song. 

The perfect song to play on the road trip in my mind. 

With my hands out the window I can feel the air whipping through each of my fingers.

 Without a care that my hair is getting tangled by the wind, I stare further through the window in absolute awe. 

In awe of the happiness brought to me by the pure act of leaving my problems behind, and keeping you. 

Keeping you in my company, keeping me sane. 

Keeping me happy. 

You are driving.

 Singing. 

Smiling. 

I am so fascinated by you. 

Intrigued by your entire being. 

I am falling for you. 

Falling for your laugh, your eyes, your smell. 

But it’s all in my head. 

It’s all a creation of my imagination. 

But I did not create your eyes, your smile, and heaven knows I could never think up a laugh like yours. 

Your smile haunts my dreams, and your lips control my thoughts.

 I could never make up a person like you, but I can easily create the situations between us. 

The unrealistic moments when you might grab my hand or smile at me, and even the less appropriate times that we share. 

I am falling for you, falling for the way you invade my mind and consume my every thought.

 All there is, is you.

Found this very amazing and interesting to read. I really love reading pieces like these that just touch me deep inside. Like...make me think and contemplate my own life. But i really loved this. Looking forward to reading more of your work

Great use of imagery in the first stanza. Really evoked a sweet mood/atmosphere. I like the shift in tone when you move to stanza two as well. Nice progression and some cool lines.
I really loved reading this - awesome work!
