This was written when I was going through some confusing times. I felt that I was falling in love, although I had never met the person in question... What is it? When your tummy flutters as their name is announced on the telephone When you ache because it has been over an hour since you heard from them When you can't wait to get back to work so that you can speak to them again When they are the last thing you think of at night, and the first thing in the morning When you want them to share their problems with you When you feel able to share yours with them When you feel sad and glad for them When you want to kiss away their tears When the sound of their laughter cheers you up When you want their happiness as much or more than your own When you hurt when they hurt, cry when they cry, laugh when they laugh When you both have a good day, or a bad one, at the same time When you would happily part with everything you have for one kiss, or a touch of their fingertips When you care so much it hurts When you hear their name in the songs on the radio When you exchange more written words in a month than most couples do in a lifetime When you speak to them more than anyone else When you feel able to share your innermost thoughts, things that you couldn't tell anyone else When you know they won't judge you or criticise When you share the same thoughts and feelings about so many things it cannot be coincidence When you know, that although you have never touched, that were you ever to make love, it would be exactly that....making love When the only difference between you and other couples is the fact that you have never seen each other in person But then Don't blind people fall in love? |

This happens more than you think! Imagine falling in love without hearing the person's voice either! Well done. |

Gem My cup certainly does runneth over when it comes to the lady who is the subject of these words. And I gues that love is blind but I am so glad that I can see! Sunny This was written to try to explain to someone how I felt about them. It seemed to work and I am glad that you appreciate it. Mystical Thank you, thank you, thank you!¬ I struggled for a title for a while and then in the end decided to use the final line as I thought it might get attention. Seems to have worked. Tracie Thank you. I am pleased that you like it! PoetDevine Actually I think I did start falling in love before we even spoke, so it can happen. Love is like the mumps.....the older you are, the harder it hits you! |
