Captivated

Excuse me,
Will you give me just a moment?
You're someone in whom I confide,
so I close my eyes and
express these thoughts I have inside.

I know these words serve no excuse.
It's the way you've induced
my heart with your love.

You portray with every mannerism
emotional understanding.
Your glow resembles a prism.

You have this voice of a harpoon
that drew me in all so soon.

I felt my heart grow bigger in time,
progressively like a watermelon,
then I fell in love with you.

These qualities you possess
guiding you to success,
I confess,
motivate me to love you more.
Your personality I adore.
Your heart is something unique
I'd spend forever to explore.

Perhaps you think, "What audacity!"
I respond to your capacity
to demonstrate true love.
You have me sold.
Not only have I been told,
but I've seen on my own that
you have a heart of gold.

I'm willing to look no farther
for my life-long partner.

I'd love to use this opportunity
to keep you next to me
and never let go.

No longer will I
let my thoughts go on belated.
I want you to know for certain
you have my heart captivated.
