Love Poem: One Second

One Second

One second

I wish if she could see herself
Through my eyes just for one second
One second is all it will take
For her to understand why I love her so much

Then she will know how amazing she is
And why she captures my heart so quickly
And then she wouldn't blame me
For all this love that I feel for her

When you fall in love with someone 
You fall in love with the person
You could see that person for the very first time
And can tell the kind of person that they are

You don't have to know a someone to fall in love with them
Because you don't decide when you will fall in love
Love comes with just one look  or just one glance
It just takes one second to fall in love
And that's all it took for her to own my heart

From the second I saw her for the first time
I fell in love with her
And although I didn't know anything about her
But still I felt like I knew everything about her
She's the woman that I love
And that was everything that I needed to know about her

If she was in a hundred relationships before
Or if she has two dozen children
It didn't matter to me, all that matter to me was
She's the woman Kaz Ishmael fell in love with

She's the girl I want to be hugged by
She's the woman that I look forward to seeing
Just one look at her, 
and she makes me melt like marshmallows over a fire

Sometimes when I feel like the world is on my shoulders 
And I felt empty and lost with tears in my heart
I would wait patiently looking at the time anxiously
Cause I know that the second that I see her, it will all go away

Just seeing her face makes me complete
She fills my life with magic, and she doesn't even have to talk to me
And she doesn't even have to know 
how much She's meant to me

She glows just like the sun shines over the earth
and she lights up my heart like a Christmas tree 
The minute I see her, my heart begins to beat faster
And I wish if just once, even if it's just for a second to be in held in her arms
It would be a second that would remain with me for the rest of my life

Sometimes I would see her 
And my heart will begin to race like a train
And if I'm talking to her for a few minutes
I would become nervous inside just looking at her

And I would try to avoid looking in her eyes
Because if I do, I know will get lost in her eyes   
And I would forget everything else
And just stand there completely hypnotize

And when she's not there 
I think of her and misses her so much
And I can't wait to see her again
And then I pretend that I don't notice her

Maybe with a little  persistence or bravery on my part
Or a bit more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure to win her heart
may have turned to glorious success for me
But it might have come with the price of losing her friendship in the process
And that's a chance that I'm not willing  to take
