I Never Got Her Name

How can thee be so beautiful?
Your presence makes me so nervous, and I start shaking knowing happiness is only a few steps away.
I can't help but think what it could be like if we were together. Happy I hope.
And I look to the future to see joy, happiness, compassion, love.

If this woman of exceptional beauty could earn my trust, I would give my trust, then place it in her hands, and say I'm yours now and forever.

Only in my mind can I start to believe somehow, someway, we might be together.
So I can hold you in my arms and listen to you cry, listen to you breath, look at your face and feel your slow passionate kiss with your lips pressed against mine, only us knowing how wonderful it feels.
The lust we could share for each other could be greater than we ever possibly thought.

Holding your hand close to my heart, I will look into your eyes and say, I love you.
I want to have you forever mentally, physically, and verbally. I must stop myself from approaching you.
Only I know what wants to come out from inside of me, to talk to you,
I want you so dearly but your face only lies behind a door.
