Love Poem: Holding Your Hand

Holding Your Hand

Everyday is nothing new
When I wake in the morning
I think of you
Each night in my minds eye so deep
You're right there while I try to sleep
All is so clear every single detail
Seeing so vividly so well
Your smile
Your eyes
Your cologne I still smell
Your voice
The kisses you places upon my lips
Just how you touched my skin so gently with your finger tips
It's no wonder why I let myself slip
When you held me so tight and yet oh so tender
To you I would surrender
How I couldn't believe
You would need or want me
But as much as I still want it to be
I soon open my eyes
And again I think back of getting lost in your eyes
Remembering how I was mesmerized
The love we made deep into the night
Never knowing at that time
Just how high my heart would take flight
No prayer or semblance of grace
Will stop recalling not only the moments that have taken place
But the ones that fight so hard to be
One of those very special memories
I look around 
I'm lost
And so desperately need to be found
And then I see
Is you right there starring only at me
All the while wanting my heart and soul to be free
And it keeps breaking
But it's always been yours for the taking
How I long for you to be there
To have someone like you care
The way you did all those years ago
If I'd known then what I know now
I would've let my feelings for you really show
I should've let you know somehow
Exactly what you meant to me
And this love I have for you will always be
Most of all I can recall
How love once for me was so grand
As long as I was holding your hand
