Love Poem: Mixed Emotions

Mixed Emotions

Every time I see your face
It takes me to a different place
Somewhere that I don’t have to hide
But the constant tick and tock of a nearby clock
Reminds you that it’s time to go…
And now you’ll leave me here alone…
I put my arms around you and think
				“Please don’t go”
My eyes shut so tight I don’t even know

Then I awake from my self-induced slumber
Time itself has stopped it shackles now do not encumber
The world itself has stopped to see the miracle that’s begun
I stand in awe to see the wondrous things that you have done
The beautiful things are so hard to comprehend,
That may be the reason why I can’t understand you
I just know I’m the happiest person in the world, 
Whenever I’m around you.
