All These Things

Looking in the mirror
My reflection is looking for you
Feeling your touch
in the curves of my skin
My hands still feel your softness
brings a blush to my grin

Missing you again
Your scent washes over me
as I touch your clothes
surrounded by reminders that
You're a part of my life now
I'm still scared
but I know that it will be
wonderful somehow

falling faster and faster
My heartbeat blurring with
the rush of hummingbird wings

All these things... I thought
I'd never say or do
are now all the things
I do for you
and with every "I love you"
that these things bring
Know that mind, body and soul
I love you too

Sven,
     Yes, it is scary..but in a "WHEEEEEEE! roller-coaster" kind of way! lol

Enchantress,
     Thank you! (nice webpage by the way)

Marge,
     I'm glad you liked those lines. I was trying to figure out a way to capture that topsy-turvy butterflies-in-the-stomach feeling of falling in love with someone for the first time; I hope I succeeded.

This whispers loudly to me. I adore it!

You should write more so I can be in awe more.

Jeff-
   This is awesome!
   I love the thoughts in this..
   Especially...

       "My heartbeat blurring with
       the rush of hummingbird wings"

   That describes the feeling perfectly!
   I really enjoyed this.
