This Feeling

I never know this feeling
Or how it came over me
So if you’re asking me to explain
I know I’m going to sound crazy

All I know is that since we meet
You’re taken up full residence in my mind
And all the other occupants
Move out that very same time

And every time we talk
This strong feeling become so rapid
And I keep thinking of you
Every moment, every second it’s all I did

Then one night sitting on my back porch
Looking at the millions of stars above
But all I see was your face
And then realize that I was in love

the moment i hears your voice
my love starts to over flow
and i have fallen so in love with you
more than you could ever know

And the rapid build up of emotions
And the happy but lonely feeling in my heart
And though I have never met you
It hurts so much to be so far a part

I long to hug you, to hold you close
To smell the fragrance of your hair
To see your smile, to look in your eyes
To feel safe in your arms without a fear

I have never prepared for happiness
I just didn’t make up the bed
Because when my heart was wounded
I left the knife in and just let it bled

So I never give life much though
I look in the mirror and see a zero
And although I was this very lonely soul
To my friends I was like a hero

For my father use to always tell us
Always try to be extra kind to all
Respect every one for us all are the same
Never pass some one when see them fall

And every time that you have to give
If its any thing or if its food to eat
Always do it with the kindness of your heart
To make other needs or hunger complete

For god is always around us
And will reward us for what we do
So I try my best to follow his words
And god bless me to meet you
