What I need cannot be found on the crowded streets of Los Angeles nor in the meat markets of clubs and bars. What I need is what's behind your smile, the truth behind your soft kisses. I've been searching for you my entire life and I've wasted so much time wandering around looking for you. I've gone from girl to girl, but I found myself in you. I know I'm probably not the cutest or most charismatic guy you've been with and just because I can put into words what some guys may have felt for you does not make me any better either. I've been writing poetry for most of my mentionable romantic life, sometimes I feel like I'm being redundant. I've written about my emotions and feelings more times than I've dealt them out. I know I've never felt anything like what I feel for you, because I can't find the words to describe it. I think that's when you know it's love, when you want to sing the person you love a ballad but can only think of the chorus. When you want to take the one you love by the hand and waltz them around the dance floor, but can only remember how to tango. I know it's love because I want to write for you something beautiful and memorable and then read it to you, but all I can do is hold you, kiss you and try not to cry. |
