What You Are

Fri, 08/07/2015 - 19:49 -- Robarg

Excuse me miss I lost my heart a while back,

 but if you help me find it…it will be yours forever.

See I'm extremely interested in you

even though others have told me pursuing you would be a hopeless endeavor.

 See the reality is I know that if I allowed you to walk off

that you would've been on my mind until the end of time.

 Now I'm not trying to run game on you because you are way too smooth for that.

So I'm approaching correct and real and expressing the way I feel.

If I sound to brash I apologize cuz that is not my intention.

It's just that when I see you I envision a star,

No not the Hollywood ones but the ones that burn so bright and illuminate the night.

I've been living in a wax museum when it comes to love.

So many girls appear to be real.

But once they encounter a little heat they began to melt away just like my feelings.

And then you stepped in the room and stood out oh so vividly.

Yes you made an impact on my perspective of what a woman is.

So through time and critical thinking I've come to the conclusion that I want you.

 Not in the capacity as two friends who share common interests that get along great.

 No that isn't enough I want you as my girl, my boo, my girlfriend, my love, and eventually my wife.

 Yes I've taken time to evaluate a future with you and it is bright.

See I can tell that I have caught you off guard so let me explain.

Let me break you down.

 I'll start with the easier thing to explain,  your physical appearance.

The terms beautiful, gorgeous, stunning, and breathtaking don't do your physical presence justice.

 See a painting can be beautiful because in that place of time that it is captured

it could be so appealing to the eyes

but how can one moment compare to a lifetime of looks and moments of grace and style displayed by you.

Gorgeous is a proper term used to explain women who's appearance can’t be explained in commonplace words

 but I haven't seen a woman who could touch you so how can that word quantify what you are.

Stunning is that moment of sheer excitement and exuberance when there is nothing that could compare to what was just seen.

 The problem with stunning is that it is limited to a moment but every moment with you would be stunning so the term would begin to repeat itself and in turn lose meaning.

Breathtaking, the period in time in which something causes you to instantaneously stop breathing.

An extremely dangerous reaction, right?

Well the effects you cause paralysis, stuttering, a cold sweat, and irregular heartbeat

Plus stealing my breath away so it may seem like for me to be around you is suicide.

But it’s just the opposite.

My body shakes, my spirit quakes, and my mind is all gone.

Without you I go through withdraws, you’re just a habit I refuse to kick.

Before I get too lost in you outer appearance let me move onto your innerself.

Your inner beauty is marvelous,

It is so compelling I just want to dive in and bask in what we call your soul.

The purity of what it is.

There lies your thoughts, emotions, and attributes.

Your intellect takes me on journeys all over the universe.

Your logic causes confrontations and situations that would make a respectable expert

Reevaluate everything they been taught.

To me you are the wisest person and when we converse there is no stopping our flow,

Just a peak inside you and you’ll shut down the whole show.

Your love is intense fire that only the God above set a flame to,

And I thank Him every day that you are burning me up.

The passion you display turns around my whole day.

You are the joy in my life.

Sorry for the amount of pressure I may be placing on your shoulders,

But I have no doubt you will exceed all of these and more.

I’m hoping I’m making my intentions clear that I want you.

My prize is not what lies between your thighs

But that look in your eyes is what I’m really after.

So let’s make a decision right here and right now.

Let’s end this little rendezvous of endless friendly flirtation

And begin something real, something both of our hearts can feel.

Be mine and let me be yours

And I can show you what it means to be loved.

So what will it be?

A lifetime of waiting for the right moment

Or come with me

And we can take every moment and make it great.
