Because of You...

Imagine meeting the person who you can't stand to be without and can't explain why you can't be without that person. You start thinking how to phrase it and then wishing they could be in your head.

Have you ever felt this way-

Seeing the girl of your dreams,

Wanting to talk to her, yet not knowing what to say?

Like a beckoning mirage with its promising gleams.

Have you ever felt so-

Like when you look at her late at night

You instantly know,

That being with her, everything will be alright.

It's like breathing air

For the first time in your life

And as you lose yourself in her stare,

You find yourself imagining that she's your wife.

How do you tell her she changed your life;

From the moment you met her here

All your troubles and all your strife

Seem so small, and that you hold her dear.

How do you let her know

That when she laughs, you see her glow;

That when you're with her, you let your true self show.

How do you tell her you won't ever let her go?

As cliche as it may be,

With you, I can be free;

With you, I am me.

But without you, I can't see.

Yes, I know how lame it sounds,

But you have no idea what she means to me.

For her, I'd run perilous grounds

To be by her side, for that's where I'd rather be.

So know that snow and rain won't wash away my pain

Should I ever lose you.

For you have taken away my hate and disdain,

And taught me how to love again, it's true.

This poem is truly about love. I can paraphrase this poem in saying you have succeeded in expressing raw, inner emotion. In connotation, I see many forms of symbolism and metaphors which you have expounded effortlessly, thus you wrote a work of art.
