In My Arms

For my beautiful girlfriend.

The intense feeling I long for when we're apart

The immense craving for your touch

And the lonesomeness when you're not around

All remind me that this is Love

The greatest abundance of emotions possible

Ever since I laid eyes on you,

Ever since I saw the most astonishing smile

I've been completely in love beyond control

You're more than someone I want

But everything I need

You get me through the day, when I have no hope

You understand every last word I vent

Thinking back on our past year and a half together

Everything we've been through has only brought us closer

I wouldn't change any last part of it

You are my reason for breathing baby

My reason for striving for a purpose in this place

Every word I say to you comes right from my heart

I've never already used a single word I've said on someone else

With you, it's all different, it's all new

For some reason, the first time our eyes met I felt instant relief

I thought maybe this time it's true, I won't be deceived

I like to call it "love at first sight"

Whether it's possible or not

For me and you, I felt an instant emotion

Stronger than anything ever before

I got hooked on the breathtaking feeling

The one that only you can give me

From that day on, I've never regretted anything

You are my one and only Love

I want to know who you are, everything about you

So let's lay in the dark together, alone just you and me

Lay your head on my chest and you'll be safe in my arms.

Are you familiar with the concept of Kismet? I like that term better than "love at first sight"; the idea that someone is destined for you is a lovely thought.

This was to touching, it made me miss someone I cared about. This it beautifully written. Good work!

[joewade]

intermittent punctuation. I would love to see you use more vivid description or use some alliteration. It really reads a lot like prose. Try some double adjectives.
