Mesmerized By You

to close my eyes and know
that you would be there
when I opened them
is a dream that I've almost given up on

the one that touches my soul
one my heart beats for
now that I've found you
I'm not gonna dare let you go
because you are one of a kind
the only one that I
have ever wanted or needed
you are what all dreams are made of
how anyone could have ever let you go
is beyond me
you're the most "real" person
I've ever met
you don't play games
no matter the enticements
that are thrown your way

every fantasy has you at it's root
because you are indeed a gift from God
you have flaws that's for sure
but for me you are perfect
and take my breath away with
what I see in your heart
something that no one can take away or corrupt
you are who you are
I thank God for that and for sending you my way
each and every single day

you make me want to be a better person
never known someone that could change me
without even trying
make me want to change without uttering a word
just by being yourself

I swear if there are angels on Earth
you are one of them
how did you end up loving me
how did you come to choose someone as cracked up as I am
someone that is so far from
the perfection that you radiate
you're so pure and innocent unscathed by the world
nothing but love for
everyone you come into contact with
your eyes are always aglow and
arms open for even those you don't even know

how is that possible
how can someone have as much love as you seem to have
and it just keeps pouring out without an end in sight
I think it's amazing but
I want that never-ending fountain
I want that abundance
of love, purity, and compassion
that you possess
I want to be able to see
the silver lining in clouds
even in thunderstorms

how quickly I've fallen in love with you
there's just something that keeps drawing me to you
I'm mesmerized by you
everytime I'm near you
I just want more and to be closer
I want to literally get under your skin
to be as one

you scare the living daylights out of me
because I've never felt this way
about anyone much less someone that
I've known for such a short time that first day I knew
there was something between us
something that I would never
find with anyone else even if
I searched the rest of my life
you are it for me
you're my soulmate
I swear before you even turned away
to walk out the door I missed you
I wanted to just reach out and draw
you back never to let you out of my sight
