Love Poem: Before You

Before You

BEFORE THE SUN NEVER SHINED,.
THERE WAS NEVER A MOON,
THEN YOU APPEAR AND THE SUN ARISES,
I SEE THE VERY FIRST MOON IN AGES!

BEFORE YOU THE FROWN ON MY FACE NEVER FADED,
FEELING GLOOMY, LONELY, SAD, ANGER, AND PAIN,
IT WAS ALL ENGRAVED IN MY HEART,
THERE YOU WERE IN AMONGST THE BAD EMOTIONS.
I SAW THE CLEARING AND CLOSED MY EYES JUMPING RIGHT ON IN,
I GOT A SURPRISE AND A SHOCK,
ALL THESE EMOTIONS CHANGED,
THEY CHANGED TO HAPPY, COMPLETE, HARMONY, PEACE, AND LOVE,

BEFORE YOU I WAS BLIND,
I WAS DEAF,
BOTH BECAUSE OF THE WORLD AROUND ME,
IT ACTED AS MY ENEMY,
WHICH ALL CHANGED THE MINUTE YOU ENTERED MY LIFE,
I COULD SEE AS FAR AS THE I COULD SEE,
HEARD MANY HAPPY UNKNOWN WORDS,
I NOTICED THERE WAS SO MUCH I NEVER KNEW,
REALIZED THE WORLD IS BIG,
AND THERE’S MORE TO IT THAN JUST WHAT WAS TRAPPED INSIDE OF ME.

BEFORE YOU I HAD SO MANY FEARS,
I KEPT SHELLED UP INSIDE OF ME,
NOW THAT YOU’VE BECOME NEAR,
I NO LONGER HAVE ANYTHING TO FEAR,
IF I DO, YOU JUST EMBRACED ME IN YOUR LOVE.

NOW THAT IT’S THE PRESENT,
I HAVE YOU ALWAYS NEAR,
I’M NOT AFRAID OF ANYTHING,
IN MY HEART I KNOW…
THAT WHENEVER I HAVE A BAD DAY YOU’LL ALWAYS BE THERE,
THERE TO HOLD ME, REASSURE ME,
AND SHOW ME WHAT LOVE REALLY MEANS,
WHAT IT MEANS TO UNDERSTAND THINGS I NEVER DID,
THERE WILL NEVER BE ANYMORE CONFUSED FEELINGS,
WITH YOU I ALWAYS UNDERSTAND,
I’M SO HAPPY TO HAVE YOU IN MY LIFE,
I NEVER THINK BEFORE YOU ANYMORE…
