Before you, I was just hanging
out. My days were all hubbub, no beauty. Boredom seemed what life was all about. Excitement meant going to a movie. Then I fell in love with you; my mall Opened to a sudden rush of sky; Trees turned into happiness; and all The things I had forgotten made me cry. The loves that fasten one to life grew strong: You, the thought of seeing you, your touch, My love for those I'd loved my whole life long, Knowing, but not feeling it too much. You brought my life to life, my love to flower; Now love me well, and through me taste your power. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon. Free for personal or non-commercial use. |
