What Could This Be

The simple sound of your voice calls to me
As I think to myself what could this be?
When I talk to you, I hear nothing but the truth 
But even when I’m with you I’m reminded that I’m still in my youth. 
I can’t help but smile when I look into your eyes
I can’t help but be saddened whenever we say goodbye 
What could this be? For I do not understand 
What could this be? For you, are nothing but a man
However age is nothing but a number when it comes to matters of the heart
Now it seems as though my mind has fallen apart
I fear that you and I may never be but something inside tells me differently
I don’t know why I feel this way. I doubt that I may never say, the words that I know are true
Could this be that I’m falling for you?
What could this be? Should I tell a soul? 
What could this be? Is what I’m feeling even so?
I’ve never had someone like you in my life 
I even find myself imagining what it would be like to be your wife
What could this be? Still I don’t understand. Could this be love? 
Or a message, a sign perhaps? Sent from up above
What could this be? I fear that I will forever be confused
My heart still beats but only just for you
I have never had this feeling before 
This unknown feeling has opened up a whole new door
What could this be? Could someone please explain!
I’m sorry for I do not mean to complain
But this is something eerie to me
As it came so suddenly 
What could this be? This feeling makes me think and do strange things
It only appears whenever I’m with you or you in my mind
Then I long for you to forever be by side
What could this be? I’ll probably find out eventually 
For now I marvel over the possibility 
Of you and I being together for eternity
