It's Amazing How I Feel When I'm Around You

It's amazing how I feel when I'm around you,
How my heart pounds when you come into a room.
I look at you and think: My God! How lovely!
And everything I am bursts into bloom.

I feel as though you must, you must be mine,
Not as a possession but a goal,
Something almost unimaginable:
The free devotion of another soul.

As though I were about to enter heaven
Or just within the hour condemned to die,
My mind with one fierce thought keeps running over,
With you, and only you, the reason why.

We Went Too Far Too Fast, and Yet

We went too far too fast, and yet
I don't want this to end.
How do I step back from love
And keep you as a friend?

How do I feel affection and
Refrain from undue touch?
How do I tell you how I feel
And still not say too much?

I know I led you to expect
Far more than I should give
Before I have the strength to know
Just how I want to live.

The fault is mine, all mine, and so
I now must ask of you
Forgiveness, and the simple space
To do what I must do.

Please don't draw away from me
In anger or in pain,
For in our mutual respect
We both have much to gain.

I LOVE YOU

YOU ARE EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED

You are everything I ever wanted.

On you my future happiness depends.

Unless I’m with you all my thoughts are haunted.

After seeing you, my unease ends.

Reason warns me that I am in danger:

Eventually, everything must fade.

My love, like yours, is flammable in anger.

Yet my trust is such, I’m not afraid.

Something in our love’s more than emotion,

Underneath each thought and each desire;

Not even all the water in the ocean

Seems up to putting out this one small fire.

How could this be? Within our love is something

Immeasurable, infinite, and good.

Nothing in all life can match this one thing

Each other passion would be, if it could.
